 ### Restore disks
 
-If there's a need to customize the creation of a VM from the backup data, restore the disks into a chosen storage account and create a VM from those disks according to their requirements. The storage account should be in the same region as the Recovery Services vault and shouldn't be zone redundant. The disks, as well as the configuration of the backed-up VM ("vmconfig.json"), is stored in the given storage account. As explained [here](#restore-operations), the relevant request body for restore disks is provided below.
