 This article describes how to restore [disks](disk-backup-overview.md) using Azure Backup.
 
+Azure Disk Backup offers a turnkey solution that provides snapshot lifecycle management for managed disks by automating periodic creation of snapshots and retaining it for configured duration using backup policy. You can manage the disk snapshots with zero infrastructure cost and without the need for custom scripting or any management overhead. This is a crash-consistent backup solution that takes point-in-time backup of a managed disk using incremental snapshots with support for multiple backups per day. It's also an agent-less solution and doesn't impact production application performance. It supports backup and restore of both OS and data disks (including shared disks), whether or not they're currently attached to a running Azure virtual machine.
+
 >[!Note]
 >- Currently, the Original-Location Recovery (OLR) option to restore by replacing the existing source disk (from where the backups were taken) isn't supported.
 >- You can restore from a recovery point to create a new disk in the same resource group of the source disk or in any other resource group. It's known as Alternate-Location Recovery (ALR).
 
-In this article, you'll learn how to:
-
-- Restore to create a new disk
-
-- Track the restore operation status
