Do Azure App Service Backups also restore configuration?

Question

When restoring a backup for an App Service, does it also restore all the configurations like Connection strings and Application settings? I have looked through the documentation but it is unclear. Thanks.

No, the backup only saves the App Service Data.

If you what to save the App Services configuration, the easiest way is by downloading the ARM template.

You only need to deploy the ARM template if you need to recreate the resource.

Here is the documentation for deploying an ARM template:

• Azure CLI: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-resource-manager/templates/deploy-cli
• PowerShell: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-resource-manager/templates/deploy-powershell
• Portal: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-resource-manager/templates/deploy-portal#deploy-resources-from-custom-template
