Recover Virtual Disk in Azure via Snapshot

i have a little problem with my azure vm. I want to restore my disk state to an older one by using an snapshot of my disk. Is this possible or do i have to create a new vm with the disk snapshot?

I didnt found any options to restore from snapshot in the online portal. is there a way with powershell?

Greetings,

You can restore a data disk. But it is different for managed disk and unmanaged disk.

If you were using managed disk, then you can only create a new managed disk from the snapshot. After that you can remove your old disk from the VM, and add the new created disk to it.

enter image description here

If you were using unmanaged disk (page blob in storage account), then you can directly restore from a snapshot. You need to remove the data disk from the VM, and promote a snapshot. You can do this easily in Azure Storage Explorer. After that, the vhd file will be overwrote, and you just need to attach the disk to your VM again.
