Correct answer: You can recover files to any VM within the subscription..
Why this is the answer
Azure Backup Instant Restore allows for granular file recovery from a backed-up VM. When performing file recovery, you can download a script that mounts the recovery point as a local drive on a specified target machine. This target machine doesn't have to be the original source VM; it can be any Windows or Linux VM within the same subscription, provided it has network connectivity to the recovery services vault. Therefore, recovering files to any VM within the subscription is possible and often preferred in ransomware scenarios to avoid reinfecting the original VM. You are not restricted to restoring only to the infected VM or a newly created VM, and recovery is certainly possible.
