SUMMARY
Supported Operating Systems for Azure
DESCRIPTION
Deploy
After a successful replication, the following operating systems can be deployed into Azure Virtual Machines (Classic) by Boomerang. Because Boomerang recognizes the guest OS from the VMware Guest OS setting, please make sure that the property is set accordingly.

Restore
Restore allows for copying replicated VMs in Azure Virtual Machines (Classic) back to VMware. The hardware specifications of restored VMs are almost identical to their original VMs from vSphere.
Currently, all supported OSes in deploy can be restored from Azure Storage (Classic) into vSphere.
Copyback
Copyback allows for copying VMs deployed in Azure Virtual Machines (Classic) back to VMware. The hardware specifications of copybacked VMs are created based on deployed VMs in Azure. They will not look the same as their original VMs from vSphere.
Currently, all supported OSes in deploy can be copied back from Azure Virtual Machines (Classic) into vSphere.
