-Direct backup of Azure VMs | Back up the entire VM. | No agent is needed on the Azure VM. Azure Backup installs and uses an extension to the [Azure VM agent](https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/virtual-machines/extensions/agent-windows) that is running on the VM. | Restore as follows:<br/><br/> - **Create a basic VM**. This is useful if the VM has no special configuration such as multiple IP addresses.<br/><br/> - **Restore the VM disk**. Restore the disk. Then attach it to an existing VM, or create a new VM from the disk by using PowerShell.<br/><br/> - **Replace VM disk**. If a VM exists and it uses managed disks (unencrypted), you can restore a disk and use it to replace an existing disk on the VM.<br/><br/> - **Restore specific files/folders**. You can restore files/folders from a VM instead of from the entire VM.
