## Detailed Description
This cmdlet restores VM backups to Microsoft Azure. You can restore the data to the following types of Microsoft Azure deployment models:

- Microsoft Azure Resource Manager
- Microsoft Azure Stack
- For Microsoft Azure Classic

::: important

You must select the Microsoft Azure configuration options that supports the VM you restore. For example, if you restore a VM that has 4 disks, select an Azure VM configuration option that supports 4 or more disks.
