## If I use EncryptFormatAll and specify all volume types, will it erase the data on the data drives that we already encrypted?

Azure Backup provides a mechanism to backup and restore encrypted VM's within the same subscription and region. For instructions, please see [Back up and restore encrypted virtual machines with Azure Backup](../../backup/backup-azure-vms-encryption.md). Restoring an encrypted VM to a different region is not currently supported.
