Difficulty: MediumAzure Virtual Machine Recovery and Restore

You have an Azure virtual machine named VM-App10 running Windows Server 2025. The VM is backed up to a Recovery Services vault. A user accidentally deletes a folder on VM-App10. You need to recover the deleted folder by using the File Recovery feature. Which of the following represents the correct sequence of steps you must perform to recover the folder?

  1. 1In the Azure portal, select the virtual machine backup, choose a recovery point, and select File Recovery.
  2. 2Download the recovery script executable and copy the generated password from the Azure portal.
  3. 3Execute the downloaded script on a local machine to mount the backup volumes.
  4. 4Use File Explorer or a command-line tool on the local machine to copy the deleted folder.
  5. 5In the Azure portal, select Unmount Disks to close the recovery session.

Answer

To perform file-level recovery from an Azure VM backup, you must first initiate File Recovery in the Azure portal and choose a recovery point. Next, download the recovery script and copy the generated password. Run the script on the local machine where you want to recover the files to mount the backup volumes. Copy the required folder from the mounted drives. Finally, unmount the disks in the Azure portal to end the recovery session.
The correct sequence starts with configuring the File Recovery session in the portal to generate the script and password. The administrator must then download the script and password, run the script on a machine to mount the backup disks, copy the target files, and finally unmount the disks in the portal to close the session.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Select File Recovery in the Azure portal.
Initiates the file recovery session for the selected recovery point.
You must establish a recovery session in Azure to generate the script and password for mounting the backup disks.
2
Download the executable script and copy the generated password.
The script and credentials are made available on the local machine.
The script is required to perform the local mounting process, and the password is required to authenticate and decrypt the mounted volumes.
3
Run the script on the local machine.
The backup volumes are mounted as local drives.
The script establishes a secure iSCSI connection to mount the recovery point disks directly to the local machine.
4
Copy the deleted folder to the target location.
The folder is recovered.
Once the drives are mounted locally, they can be browsed like any standard local drive to retrieve files.
5
Unmount the disks in the Azure portal.
The recovery session is terminated and local drives are unmounted.
Unmounting the disks releases the resources and cleans up the active connection to the recovery point.

Key Concept

File recovery from Azure VM backups using the downloadable script mounts the backup disks locally via iSCSI, allowing users to copy individual files and folders before closing the recovery session.
