**Scenario** | **Backup** | **Agent** |**Restore**

--- | --- | --- | ---
24-
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.

Direct backup of Azure VMs (Windows only) | Back up specific files/folders/volume. | Install the [Azure Recovery Services agent](backup-azure-file-folder-backup-faq.md).<br/><br/> You can run the MARS agent alongside the backup extension for the Azure VM agent to back up the VM at file/folder level. | Restore specific folders/files.
2626
Back up Azure VM to backup server | Back up files/folders/volumes; system state/bare metal files; app data to System Center DPM or to Microsoft Azure Backup Server (MABS).<br/><br/> DPM/MABS then backs up to the backup vault. | Install the DPM/MABS protection agent on the VM. The MARS agent is installed on DPM/MABS.| Restore files/folders/volumes; system state/bare metal files; app data.
