Question

Your organization stores FSLogix profile containers on an Azure Files Premium share. A user reports that files saved to their profile earlier today are missing after a session host crash corrupted their profile VHDX. Azure Backup is not configured for the file share, but the share has scheduled share snapshots enabled through Azure File Sync's snapshot capability and the built-in Azure Files snapshot feature. What is the fastest, supported way to recover the user's profile to its state from earlier today?

Accepted Answer

Restore the individual VHDX file from an Azure Files share snapshot taken earlier today while the user is signed out.

Answer

Recreate the user's profile from scratch by deleting the VHDX and having the user sign in again to generate a new container.

Answer

Enable Azure Backup on the file share now and perform an item-level restore of the profile.

Answer

Copy the corrupted VHDX to a session host, mount it locally, and run chkdsk to repair the file system.
