Veeam restore from Azure to Azure new subscriptions

[rborhara]

Hi
As part of monthly checks I restore a random VM backed up using Veeam for Azure into another test Subscription in the UK South Region
So the existing VM is a Standard D8s v5 (8 vcpus, 32 GiB memory) but when i chose the size in Veeam i dont see that
i did try D8LDS but that fails with OS image not recognised

Is there a knack for restoring vms into new regions / subscriptions

I do have Veeam Support engaged but the below is the error

Hi,

I presume you use Veeam Backup for Microsoft Azure and not our VDC Azure offering?

Please work with support to find a solution but it looks like the specific VM size is not enabled or available in the other subscription/region. Can you share the case ID for future reference as well?
