This is supported both for Enhanced Policy (preview) as well as Standard Policy. This provides an efficient and cost-effective solution for your backup and restore needs. Each recovery point contains only the disks that are included in the backup operation.

Using PowerShell, Azure CLI, or Azure portal, you can configure selective disk backup of the Azure VM. Using a script, you can include or exclude data disks using their *LUN numbers*. The ability to configure selective disks backup via the Azure portal is limited to the *Backup OS Disk* only for the Standard policy, but can be configured for all data disks for Enhanced policy.
