Every day, your data protection is being challenged continuously by malicious malware and viruses to hold your data hostage and have you pay fees to get it back. Microsoft has brought security and reliability of your data with Azure Backup Services. The peace of mind knowing that Azure has your back, in the event of an attack, can help alleviate the stress of constantly worrying about the security of your data. Today, we are going to cover how simple Azure has made it for you to get what you need, when you need it, as fast, safe and proficient as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Restoring Files Using Azure Backups<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>1) Log in to the Azure portal and select your VM. In the center blade select <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"118\" height=\"29\" src=\"https:\/\/virtual-dba.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/locate_backup.png\" alt=\"locate backup\" class=\"wp-image-36871\">.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>2) At the top of the <em>Backup <\/em>page select <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"109\" height=\"39\" src=\"https:\/\/virtual-dba.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/select_file_recovery.png\" alt=\"select file recovery\" class=\"wp-image-36885\">.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>3) Once the <em>File Recovery<\/em> option is selected, you can now select recovery point options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"314\" height=\"814\" src=\"https:\/\/virtual-dba.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/file_recovery_options.png\" alt=\"file recovery options\" class=\"wp-image-36868\"\/><figcaption><em>Fig 1.1 <\/em>File Recovery Options<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>4) First, you want to <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"283\" height=\"63\" src=\"https:\/\/virtual-dba.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/select_recovery_point.png\" alt=\"select recovery point\" class=\"wp-image-36886\">. Your recovery point is the point in time you wish to restore file contents. (Note: for any files larger than 10GB, you are required, by Microsoft, to restore your entire VM or use PowerShell).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> 5) Once you have a recovery point selected, you need to download the executable file required to mount the disks. These disks can be mounted in a local environment or directly on the virtual machine(s) you want to recover from. Select <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"182\" height=\"37\" src=\"https:\/\/virtual-dba.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/download_executable_button.png\" alt=\"download executable button\" class=\"wp-image-36866\">.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>6) This can take about a minute. Once the exe file is ready, select <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"120\" height=\"38\" src=\"https:\/\/virtual-dba.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/download_button.png\" alt=\"download button\" class=\"wp-image-36865\">.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>7) After the file is downloaded, the <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"208\" height=\"80\" src=\"https:\/\/virtual-dba.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/password_to_run_Script.png\" alt=\"password to run Script\" class=\"wp-image-36876\"> will be generated. You can copy this one-time password and save it to a note pad. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>8) Once the file is downloaded, it will appear as this icon: <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"83\" height=\"91\" src=\"https:\/\/virtual-dba.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/file_download_icon.png\" alt=\"file download icon\" class=\"wp-image-36867\">. Run the executable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>9) Command prompt window will open prompting for the password that was generated in the recovery blade. Paste the password.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"983\" height=\"513\" src=\"https:\/\/virtual-dba.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/recovery_services_password_prompt.png\" alt=\"recovery services password prompt\" class=\"wp-image-36878\"\/><figcaption><em>Fig 1.2 <\/em>Recovery Services Password Prompt<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>10) When you run the executable, an administrative PowerShell session will open and begin mounting your disks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1194\" height=\"325\" src=\"https:\/\/virtual-dba.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/powershell_file_recover_screen.png\" alt=\"powershell file recover screen\" class=\"wp-image-36877\"\/><figcaption><em>Fig 1.3 <\/em>PowerShell File Recovery Screen<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>11) Once the connection is successful, you can now open file explorer to review and recover files that are needed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1500\" height=\"342\" src=\"https:\/\/virtual-dba.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/VM_restore_verification.png\" alt=\"VM restore verification\" class=\"wp-image-36890\"\/><figcaption><em>Fig 1.4<\/em> Mounted Disk<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"936\" height=\"418\" src=\"https:\/\/virtual-dba.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/restored_files_on_disk.png\" alt=\"restored files on disk\" class=\"wp-image-36884\"\/><figcaption><em>Fig 1.5 <\/em>Restored Files on Disk<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>12) After completing file(s) restore, go back to your <em>File Restore<\/em> section in the Azure portal and select <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"142\" height=\"32\" src=\"https:\/\/virtual-dba.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Unmount_disks.png\" alt=\"Unmount disks\" class=\"wp-image-36889\"> to completely remove the disk(s) and close out the file restore connection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As you can see, Microsoft&#8217;s ease of grabbing your files when you need it has taken file recovery to the next level! Let&#8217;s now take a look at how we can restore an entire Azure Virtual Machine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to restore an Azure Virtual Machine<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>1) From the Azure Portal, select your Azure VM and locate <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"118\" height=\"29\" src=\"https:\/\/virtual-dba.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/locate_backup.png\" alt=\"locate backup\" class=\"wp-image-36871\"> in the middle blade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>2) Select <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"110\" height=\"30\" src=\"https:\/\/virtual-dba.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/select_restore_VM.png\" alt=\"select restore VM\" class=\"wp-image-36888\">.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>3) From here, you will see options for a restore point. Select the recovery point and type (Snapshot and Vault or Vault) to proceed. For this walkthrough, we will use the most recent recovery point. Click <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"83\" height=\"26\" src=\"https:\/\/virtual-dba.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/ok_button.png\" alt=\"ok button\" class=\"wp-image-36875\"> once your selection has been made.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"579\" height=\"425\" src=\"https:\/\/virtual-dba.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/select_restore_point.png\" alt=\"select restore point\" class=\"wp-image-36887\"\/><figcaption><em>Fig 1.1 Select Restore Point<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>4) From here, you have two options: <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"267\" height=\"37\" src=\"https:\/\/virtual-dba.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/create_new_replace_existing.png\" alt=\"create new replace existing\" class=\"wp-image-36864\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Create new<\/strong> will create a new VM based on the recovery point.
