**Product** **Edition**: Standard, Enterprise, Enterprise Plus, Veeam Universal License

## Syntax

This cmdlet provides the following parameter sets:

<ul class="syntax-sets">
  <li>
    <p><code>DiskName</code></p>

```

`<CommonParameters>`

This cmdlet supports Microsoft PowerShell common parameters. For more information on common parameters, see [ Microsoft Docs](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/microsoft.powershell.core/about/about_commonparameters?view=powershell-7).

## Output Object
[`VBRAzureDiskConfiguration`](vbrazurediskconfiguration.md)

## Examples

::: example
### Example 1. Defining Azure VM Disk Type for Computer

This example shows how to define the Azure StandardHDD disk type for a computer disk backed-up with Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows.

```
$backup = Get-VBRBackup -Name "Windows Servers Backup"
$restorePoint = Get-VBRRestorePoint -Backup $backup | Sort-Object -Property CreationTime -Descending | Select-Object -First 1
$diskNames = Get-VBRComputerDisk -RestorePoint $restorePoint
$diskConfig = New-VBRAzureDiskConfiguration -DiskName $diskNames[0].UniqueId -DiskType StandardHDD -Include
```

Perform the following steps:

1. Run the [`Get-VBRBackup`](get-vbrbackup.md) cmdlet. Specify the `Name` parameter value. Save the result to the `$backup` variable.
2. Run the [`Get-VBRRestorePoint`](get-vbrrestorepoint.md) cmdlet. Specify the `Backup` parameter value.
3. Pipe the cmdlet output to the [`Sort-Object`](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/microsoft.powershell.utility/sort-object?view=powershell-7) cmdlet. Set the `CreationTime` value for the `Property` parameter. Provide the `Descending` parameter.
4. Pipe the cmdlet output to the [`Select-Object`](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/microsoft.powershell.utility/select-object?view=powershell-7) cmdlet. Specify the `First` parameter value. Save the result to the `$restorePoint` variable.
5. Run the [`Get-VBRComputerDisk`](get-vbrcomputerdisk.md) cmdlet. Set the `$restorePoint` value for the `RestorePoint` parameter. Save the result to the `$diskNames` variable.
6. Run the `New-VBRAzureDiskConfiguration` cmdlet. Specify the following:

   1. Set the `$diskNames[0].UniqueId` variable as the `DiskName` parameter value.
   2. Specify the `DiskType` and `Include` parameter values.
   3. Save the result to the `$diskConfig` variable.

### Example 2. Defining Azure VM Disk Type for Hyper-V VMs

This example shows how to define the Azure StandardHDD disk type for disks of Microsoft Hyper-V VMs.

```
$backup = Get-VBRBackup -Name "VM Backup Job"
$restorePoint = Get-VBRRestorePoint -Backup $backup | Sort-Object -Property CreationTime -Descending | Select-Object -First 1
$diskConfig = New-VBRAzureDiskConfiguration -DiskName $restorePoint.AuxData.Disks[0].TargetFilePath -DiskType StandardHDD -Include
```

Perform the following steps:

1. Run the [`Get-VBRBackup`](get-vbrbackup.md) cmdlet. Specify the `Name` parameter value. Save the result to the `$backup` variable.
2. Run the [`Get-VBRRestorePoint`](get-vbrrestorepoint.md) cmdlet. Specify the `Backup` parameter value.
3. Pipe the cmdlet output to the [`Sort-Object`](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/microsoft.powershell.utility/sort-object?view=powershell-7) cmdlet. Set the `CreationTime` value for the `Property` parameter. Provide the `Descending` parameter.
4. Pipe the cmdlet output to the [`Select-Object`](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/microsoft.powershell.utility/select-object?view=powershell-7) cmdlet. Specify the `First` parameter value. Save the result to the `$restorePoint` variable.
5. Run the `New-VBRAzureDiskConfiguration` cmdlet. Specify the following:

   1. Set the `$restorePoint.AuxData.Disks[0].TargetFilePath` variable as the `DiskName` parameter value.
   2. Specify the `DiskType` and `Include` parameter values.
   3. Save the result to the `$diskConfig` variable.

### Example 3. Defining Azure VM Disk Type for Other Workloads

This example shows how to define the Azure StandardHDD disk type for disks of workloads other than computers backed-up with Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows. This example shows how to do it for a VMware vSphere VM.

```
$backup = Get-VBRBackup -Name "VM Backup Job"
$restorePoint = Get-VBRRestorePoint -Backup $backup | Sort-Object -Property CreationTime -Descending | Select-Object -First 1
$diskConfig = New-VBRAzureDiskConfiguration -DiskName $restorePoint.AuxData.Disks[0].FileName -DiskType StandardHDD -Include
```

Perform the following steps:

1. Run the [`Get-VBRBackup`](get-vbrbackup.md) cmdlet. Specify the `Name` parameter value. Save the result to the `$backup` variable.
2. Run the [`Get-VBRRestorePoint`](get-vbrrestorepoint.md) cmdlet. Specify the `Backup` parameter value.
3. Pipe the cmdlet output to the [`Sort-Object`](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/microsoft.powershell.utility/sort-object?view=powershell-7) cmdlet. Set the `CreationTime` value for the `Property` parameter. Provide the `Descending` parameter.
4. Pipe the cmdlet output to the [`Select-Object`](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/microsoft.powershell.utility/select-object?view=powershell-7) cmdlet. Specify the `First` parameter value. Save the result to the `$restorePoint` variable.
5. Run the `New-VBRAzureDiskConfiguration` cmdlet. Specify the following:

   1. Set the `$restorePoint.AuxData.Disks[0].FileName` variable as the `DiskName` parameter value.
   2. Specify the `DiskType` and `Include` parameter values.
   3. Save the result to the `$diskConfig` variable.
