# Azure VM: Restore a Disk

This article explains how to restore an Azure managed disk from your Eon snapshots.

> **Info**
>
> This procedure applies to both Azure Virtual Machines and SQL Server on Azure Virtual Machines.
> Both resource types use the same restore wizard.

## Restore the disk

#### Before you start

Before you restore an Azure disk, make sure:

* A [restore account has been connected] to your Eon account.

[restore account has been connected]: /data-protection/restoring/restore-accounts/about-restore-accounts

#### Find the snapshot you want to restore

1. In your

   inventory

   , select the Azure VM whose disk you want to restore.
   The **Resource details** panel opens.

2. Click the **Eon snapshots** tab.
   You'll see a calendar view with colored dots on the days when snapshots were taken.
   There can be more than one snapshot per day.

   When you click a day, a list of Eon snapshots taken that day is displayed below the calendar.

3. Expand the snapshot you want to restore.
   Click **Specific disk**, select the disk you want to restore, and then click **Restore**.
   The **Restore Disk** wizard opens.

#### Choose the restore account

In the **Restore Disk** wizard, you're taken through a two-step process.
The first step is to choose a restore account.

Choose the subscription you want to restore the disk to, and then click **Next**.

#### Set the restored disk details

In the **Disk configuration** step, you'll set the restored disk details.

1. Choose a **Region** to deploy the restored disk to.

2. Choose a **Resource group** to deploy the restored disk to.

3. Choose whether to turn **Keep original settings** on or off.

   * If you leave **Keep original settings** on, the restored disk retains the same settings as the original disk.

   * If you turn it off, you can customize the disk's **Name**.

4. If you want to retain the tags that were present when the snapshot was taken, turn **Keep original tags** on.
   Otherwise, turn **Keep original tags** off.

#### Start the restore job

Click **Restore** to start the asynchronous restore job.

You can see your list of restore jobs on the

Restore jobs tab

in the Jobs page.

After the job is completed, the status changes to **SUCCESS**, and you can work with the restored disk as normal.
