-**Create VM**: When you create a new VM, VHD files are also copied when restoring VMs with disks < 4 TB or VMs containing < 16 disks from a Vault-Standard recovery point. These files are then moved to Managed storage. To prevent extra charges, delete VHDs from the Staging Storage Account.

-**Restore disk**: The VM restore job generates a template, which you can download and use to specify custom VM settings. VHD files are also copied when restoring managed disks **< 4 TB** or VMs containing **< 16 disks** from a Vault-Standard recovery point, or when restoring unmanaged disks. These files are then moved to Managed storage. To prevent extra charges, delete VHDs from the Staging Storage Account.

-**Replace disk**: When replacing a managed disk from a Vault-Standard recovery point that's **< 4 TB** or a VM containing **< 16 disks**, a VHD file is created in the specified storage account. After replacement, source VM disks remain in the designated Resource Group, and VHDs stay in the storage account; you can delete or retain the source disk and the VHDs as needed.

Azure Backup offers the flexibility to restore the managed Azure VM with [managed identities](../active-directory/managed-identities-azure-resources/overview.md). You can choose to select [system-managed identities](../active-directory/managed-identities-azure-resources/overview.md#managed-identity-types) or user-managed identities as shown in the figure below. This is introduced as one of the input parameters in the [**Restore configuration** pane](#create-a-vm) of Azure VM. Managed identities are used for accessing the storage accounts and automated cleanup of any resources created during restore process in case of restore failures. These managed identities have to be associated to the vault.
