--- title: Restore Azure Disks using Azure Data Protection REST API description: In this article, learn how to restore Azure Disks using Azure Data protection REST API. ms.topic: how-to ms.date: 02/13/2026 ms.assetid: 30f4e7ff-2a55-4a85-be44-55feedc24607 ms.custom: engagement-fy24 author: AbhishekMallick-MS ms.author: v-mallicka # Customer intent: "As a cloud administrator, I want to restore Azure Disks using a Data Protection API, so that I can efficiently recover managed disks without incurring infrastructure costs or affecting application performance." --- # Restore Azure Disks using Azure Data Protection REST API This article describes how to restore and create a new [Azure Disks](disk-backup-overview.md) by Azure Backup using REST API. You can also restore Managed Disk using [Azure portal](restore-managed-disks.md), [Azure PowerShell](restore-managed-disks-ps.md), [Azure CLI](restore-managed-disks-cli.md). 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). To view the supported Azure Disk backup and restore scenarios, region availability, and limitations, see the [support matrix](disk-backup-support-matrix.md). For common questions, see the [frequently asked questions](disk-backup-faq.yml). ## Prerequisites - [Create a Backup vault](backup-azure-dataprotection-use-rest-api-create-update-backup-vault.md) - [Create a disk backup policy](backup-azure-dataprotection-use-rest-api-create-update-disk-policy.md) - [Configure a disk backup](backup-azure-dataprotection-use-rest-api-backup-disks.md) In the example, we'll refer to an existing backup vault _TestBkpVault_, under the resource group _testBkpVaultRG_, where an Azure Disk is named _msdiskbackup-2dc6eb5b-d008-4d68-9e49-7132d99da0ed_. ## Set up permissions Backup vault uses managed identity to access other Azure resources. To restore from backup, Backup vault’s managed identity requires a set of permissions on the resource group where the disk needs to be restored. Backup vault uses a system-assigned managed identity, which is restricted to one per resource and is tied to the lifecycle of this resource. To grant permissions to the managed identity, use the Azure role-based access control (Azure RBAC). Managed identity is a specific service principal that you may only use with Azure resources. Learn more about [Managed Identities](../active-directory/managed-identities-azure-resources/overview.md). Assign the relevant permissions for vault's system-assigned managed identity on the target resource group where the disks will be restored/created. [Learn more](restore-managed-disks.md#restore-a-new-disk-from-a-recovery-point). ## Fetch the list of recovery points To list all the available recovery points for a backup instance, use the [list recovery points](/rest/api/dataprotection/recovery-points/list) API. ```http GET https://management.azure.com/subscriptions/{subscriptionId}/resourceGroups/{resourceGroupName}/providers/Microsoft.DataProtection/backupVaults/{vaultName}/backupInstances/{backupInstanceName}/recoveryPoints?api-version=2021-01-01 ``` For example, this API translates to: ```http GET https://management.azure.com/subscriptions/xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxxx/resourceGroups/TestBkpVaultRG/providers/Microsoft.DataProtection/backupVaults/testBkpVault/backupInstances/msdiskbackup-2dc6eb5b-d008-4d68-9e49-7132d99da0ed/recoveryPoints?api-version=2021-01-01 ``` ### Responses for list of recovery points Once you submit the *GET* request, this returns response as 200 (OK) and the list of all discrete recovery points with all the relevant details. |Name |Type |Description | |---------|---------|---------| |200 OK | [AzureBackupRecoveryPointResourceList](/rest/api/dataprotection/recovery-points/list#azurebackuprecoverypointresourcelist) | OK | |Other Status codes | [CloudError](/rest/api/dataprotection/recovery-points/list#clouderror) | Error response describes the reason for the operation failure. | **Example response for list of recovery points** ```http HTTP/1.1 200 OK Content-Length: 7550 Content-Type: application/json Expires: -1 Pragma: no-cache X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff x-ms-request-id: Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains x-ms-ratelimit-remaining-subscription-reads: 11999 x-ms-correlation-request-id: f01e2448-bdc5-4971-aee4-2edd1945c719 x-ms-routing-request-id: CENTRALUSEUAP:20210830T173435Z:0063423e-8b5e-493e-bb2e-74b7c7947c6c Cache-Control: no-cache Date: Mon, 30 Aug 2021 17:34:34 GMT Server: Microsoft-IIS/10.0 X-Powered-By: ASP.NET { "value": [ { "id": "/subscriptions/xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxxx/resourceGroups/TestBkpVaultRG/providers/Microsoft.DataProtection/backupVaults/testBkpVault/backupInstances/msdiskbackup-2dc6eb5b-d008-4d68-9e49-7132d99da0ed/recoveryPoints/a3d02fc3ab8a4c3a8cc26688c26d3356", "name": "a3d02fc3ab8a4c3a8cc26688c26d3356", "type": "Microsoft.DataProtection/backupVaults/backupInstances/recoveryPoints", "properties": { "objectType": "AzureBackupDiscreteRecoveryPoint", "recoveryPointId": "a3d02fc3ab8a4c3a8cc26688c26d3356", "recoveryPointTime": "2021-08-30T10:02:11.6354913Z", "recoveryPointType": "Incremental", "friendlyName": "119ac243-a789-4a41-be24-0461bceb3888", "recoveryPointDataStoresDetails": [ { "id": "13e7c1fe-005d-4b80-8532-c58d937132bb", "type": "OperationalStore", "creationTime": "2021-08-30T10:02:11.6354913Z", "expiryTime": "2021-09-06T10:02:11.6354913Z", "metaData": null, "visible": true, "state": "COMMITTED", "rehydrationExpiryTime": null, "rehydrationStatus": null } ], "retentionTagName": "Default", "retentionTagVersion": "637607428336647408", "policyName": "DiskBackupPolicy-03", "policyVersion": null } }, { "id": "/subscriptions/xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxxx/resourceGroups/TestBkpVaultRG/providers/Microsoft.DataProtection/backupVaults/testBkpVault/backupInstances/msdiskbackup-2dc6eb5b-d008-4d68-9e49-7132d99da0ed/recoveryPoints/8f76ebc4c54847c09455d5785a150ce2", "name": "8f76ebc4c54847c09455d5785a150ce2", "type": "Microsoft.DataProtection/backupVaults/backupInstances/recoveryPoints", "properties": { "objectType": "AzureBackupDiscreteRecoveryPoint", "recoveryPointId": "8f76ebc4c54847c09455d5785a150ce2", "recoveryPointTime": "2021-08-29T10:01:50.7749008Z", "recoveryPointType": "Incremental", "friendlyName": "1ac5aa6b-3583-464f-9604-7490c04c2b22", "recoveryPointDataStoresDetails": [ { "id": "13e7c1fe-005d-4b80-8532-c58d937132bb", "type": "OperationalStore", "creationTime": "2021-08-29T10:01:50.7749008Z", "expiryTime": "2021-09-05T10:01:50.7749008Z", "metaData": null, "visible": true, "state": "COMMITTED", "rehydrationExpiryTime": null, "rehydrationStatus": null } ], "retentionTagName": "Default", "retentionTagVersion": "637607428336647408", "policyName": "DiskBackupPolicy-03", "policyVersion": null } }, . . . . } ``` Select the relevant recovery points from the above list and proceed to prepare the restore request. We'll choose a recovery point named `a3d02fc3ab8a4c3a8cc26688c26d3356` from the above list to restore. ## Prepare the restore request Construct the Azure Resource Manager (ARM) ID of the new disk to be created with the target resource group (to which permissions were assigned as detailed [above](#set-up-permissions)) and the required disk name. For example, we'll use a disk named `APITestDisk2`, under a resource group `targetrg`, present in the same region as the backed-up disk, but under a different subscription. ### Construct the request body for restore request The following request body contains the recovery point ID and the restore target details. ```json { "recoveryPointId": "a3d02fc3ab8a4c3a8cc26688c26d3356", "restoreRequestObject": { "objectType": "AzureBackupRecoveryPointBasedRestoreRequest", "sourceDataStoreType": "OperationalStore", "restoreTargetInfo": { "objectType": "restoreTargetInfo", "recoveryOption": "FailIfExists", "dataSourceInfo": { "objectType": "Datasource", "resourceID": "/subscriptions/xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxxx/resourceGroups/targetrg/providers/Microsoft.Compute/disks/APITestDisk2", "resourceName": "APITestDisk2", "resourceType": "Microsoft.Compute/disks", "resourceLocation": "westUS", "resourceUri": "/subscriptions/xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxxx/resourceGroups/targetrg/providers/Microsoft.Compute/disks/APITestDisk2", "datasourceType": "Microsoft.Compute/disks" }, "restoreLocation": "westUS" } } } ``` #### Validate restore requests Once request body is prepared, validate it using the [validate for restore API](/rest/api/dataprotection/backup-instances/validate-for-restore). Like validate for backup API, this is a *POST* operation. ```http POST https://management.azure.com/subscriptions/{subscriptionId}/resourceGroups/{resourceGroupName}/providers/Microsoft.DataProtection/backupVaults/{vaultName}/backupInstances/{backupInstanceName}/validateRestore?api-version=2021-01-01 ``` For example, this API translates to: ```http POST "/subscriptions/xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxxx/resourceGroups/TestBkpVaultRG/providers/Microsoft.DataProtection/backupVaults/testBkpVault/backupInstances/msdiskbackup-2dc6eb5b-d008-4d68-9e49-7132d99da0ed/validateRestore?api-version=2021-01-01" ``` [Learn more](/rest/api/dataprotection/backup-instances/validate-for-restore#request-body) about the request body for this POST API. #### Request body to validate restore request We have constructed a section of the same in the [above section](#construct-the-request-body-for-restore-request). Now, we'll add object type and use it to trigger a validate operation. ```json { "objectType": "ValidateRestoreRequestObject", "recoveryPointId": "a3d02fc3ab8a4c3a8cc26688c26d3356", "restoreRequestObject": { "objectType": "AzureBackupRecoveryPointBasedRestoreRequest", "sourceDataStoreType": "OperationalStore", "restoreTargetInfo": { "objectType": "restoreTargetInfo", "recoveryOption": "FailIfExists", "dataSourceInfo": { "objectType": "Datasource", "resourceID": "/subscriptions/xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxxx/resourceGroups/targetrg/providers/Microsoft.Compute/disks/APITestDisk2", "resourceName": "APITestDisk2", "resourceType": "Microsoft.Compute/disks", "resourceLocation": "westUS", "resourceUri": "/subscriptions/xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxxx/resourceGroups/targetrg/providers/Microsoft.Compute/disks/APITestDisk2", "datasourceType": "Microsoft.Compute/disks" }, "restoreLocation": "westUS" } } } ``` ##### Response to validate restore requests The _validate restore request_ is an [asynchronous operation](../azure-resource-manager/management/async-operations.md). So, this operation creates another operation that needs to be tracked separately. It returns two responses: 202 (Accepted) when another operation is created, and 200 (OK) when that operation completes. |Name |Type |Description | |---------|---------|---------| |200 OK | | Status of validate request | |202 Accepted | | Accepted | **Example response to restore validate request** Once the *POST* operation is submitted, it will return the initial response as 202 (Accepted) with an _Azure-asyncOperation_ header. ```http HTTP/1.1 202 Accepted Content-Length: 0 Expires: -1 Pragma: no-cache Retry-After: 10 Azure-AsyncOperation: https://management.azure.com/subscriptions/xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxxx/providers/Microsoft.DataProtection/locations/westus/operationStatus/ZmMzNDFmYWMtZWJlMS00NGJhLWE4YTgtMDNjYjI4Y2M5OTExOzVlNzMxZDBiLTQ3MDQtNDkzNS1hYmNjLWY4YWEzY2UzNTk1ZQ==?api-version=2021-01-01 X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff x-ms-request-id: Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains x-ms-ratelimit-remaining-subscription-writes: 1199 x-ms-correlation-request-id: bae60c92-669d-45a4-aed9-8392cca7cc8d x-ms-routing-request-id: CENTRALUSEUAP:20210708T205935Z:f51db7a4-9826-4084-aa3b-ae640dc78af6 Cache-Control: no-cache Date: Thu, 08 Jul 2021 20:59:35 GMT Location: https://management.azure.com/subscriptions/xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxxx/providers/Microsoft.DataProtection/locations/westus/operationResults/ZmMzNDFmYWMtZWJlMS00NGJhLWE4YTgtMDNjYjI4Y2M5OTExOzVlNzMxZDBiLTQ3MDQtNDkzNS1hYmNjLWY4YWEzY2UzNTk1ZQ==?api-version=2021-01-01 X-Powered-By: ASP.NET ``` Track the _Azure-AsyncOperation_ header with a *GET* request.
