How can I restore backups of classic VMs once Classic VMs and Classic Storage Accounts are retired?

Once classic VMs have been retired, restoring backups of classic VMs require using the `restore disks` restoration type. Classic VM disks may be restored to ARM storage accounts. After restoring the disks, you can [convert them to managed disks](scripts/virtual-machines-powershell-sample-create-managed-disk-from-vhd.md) and [create a new ARM VM with them attached](scripts/create-vm-from-managed-os-disks.md). Alternatively, you can [attach them as data disks to an existing VM](windows/attach-disk-ps.md#attach-an-existing-data-disk-to-a-vm).
