**Create a new VM** | This option quickly creates and gets a basic VM up and running from a restore point.<br/><br/> You can specify a name for the VM, select the resource group and virtual network in which it will be placed, and specify a storage account for the restored VM. The new VM must be created in the same region as the source VM.
128128
**Restore disk** | This option restores a VM disk, which can you can then use to create a new VM.<br/><br/> Azure Backup provides a template to help you customize and create a VM. <br/><br> The restore job generates a template that you can download and use to specify custom VM settings and create a VM.<br/><br/> The disks are copied to the resource group that you specify.<br/><br/> Alternatively, you can attach the disk to an existing VM, or create a new VM by using PowerShell.<br/><br/> This option is useful if you want to customize the VM, add configuration settings that weren't there at the time of backup, or add settings that must be configured via the template or PowerShell.

**Replace existing** | You can restore a disk and use it to replace a disk on the existing VM.<br/><br/> The current VM must exist. If it has been deleted, you can't use this option.<br/><br/> Azure Backup takes a snapshot of the existing VM before replacing the disk, and it stores the snapshot in the staging location that you specify. Existing disks connected to the VM are replaced with the selected restore point.<br/><br/> The snapshot is copied to the vault and retained in accordance with the retention policy. <br/><br/> After the replace-disk operation, the original disk is retained in the resource group. You can choose to manually delete the original disks if they aren't needed. <br/><br/>This option is supported for unencrypted managed VMs and for VMs [created from custom images](https://azure.microsoft.com/resources/videos/create-a-custom-virtual-machine-image-in-azure-resource-manager-with-powershell/). It's not supported for unmanaged disks and VMs, classic VMs, and [generalized VMs](/azure/virtual-machines/capture-image-resource).<br/><br/> If the restore point has more or fewer disks than the current VM, the number of disks in the restore point will only reflect the VM configuration.<br><br> This option is also supported for VMs with linked resources, like [user-assigned managed identity](../active-directory/managed-identities-azure-resources/overview.md) and [Azure Key Vault](/azure/key-vault/general/overview).

**Cross Region (secondary region)** | You can use cross-region restore to restore Azure VMs in the secondary region, which is an [Azure paired region](../reliability/cross-region-replication-azure.md).<br><br> You can restore all the Azure VMs for the selected recovery point if the backup is done in the secondary region.<br><br> This feature is available for the following options:<br> - [Create a VM](./backup-azure-arm-restore-vms.md#create-a-vm) <br> - [Restore disks](./backup-azure-arm-restore-vms.md#restore-disks) <br><br> We don't currently support the [Replace existing disks](./backup-azure-arm-restore-vms.md#replace-existing-disks) option.<br><br> Backup admins and app admins have permissions to perform the restore operation on a secondary region.
131131
**Cross Subscription** | Allowed only if the [Cross Subscription Restore property](backup-azure-arm-restore-vms.md#cross-subscription-restore-for-azure-vm) is enabled for your Recovery Services vault. <br><br> You can restore Azure Virtual Machines or disks to a different subscription within the same tenant as the source subscription (as per the Azure RBAC capabilities) from restore points. <br><br> This feature is available for the following options:<br> - [Create a VM](./backup-azure-arm-restore-vms.md#create-a-vm) <br> - [Restore disks](./backup-azure-arm-restore-vms.md#restore-disks) <br><br> Cross Subscription Restore is unsupported for: <br> - [Snapshots](backup-azure-vms-introduction.md#snapshot-creation) tier recovery points. It's also unsupported for [unmanaged VMs](backup-azure-arm-restore-vms.md#restoring-unmanaged-vms-and-disks-as-managed) and [VMs with disks having Azure Encryptions (ADE)](backup-azure-vms-encryption.md#encryption-support-using-ade). <br> - [VMs with CMK encrypted disks](backup-azure-vms-encryption.md).
132132
**Cross Zonal Restore** | You can use cross-zonal restore to restore Azure zone-pinned VMs in available zones. You can restore Azure VMs or disks to different zones (one of the Azure RBAC capabilities) from restore points. Note that when you select a zone to restore, it selects the [logical zone](../reliability/availability-zones-overview.md#zonal-and-zone-redundant-services) (and not the physical zone) as per the Azure subscription you will use to restore to. <br><br> This feature is available for the following options:<br> - [Create a VM](./backup-azure-arm-restore-vms.md#create-a-vm) <br> - [Restore disks](./backup-azure-arm-restore-vms.md#restore-disks) <br><br> Cross-zonal restore is unsupported for [snapshots](backup-azure-vms-introduction.md#snapshot-creation) of restore points. It's also unsupported for [encrypted Azure VMs](backup-azure-vms-introduction.md#encryption-of-azure-vm-backups).
