Use Case:
Current production system is running in azure VM
Database are backed up using azure recovery service vault with proper policy
Technical team wants the database to be restored on-premises server based on a button click / Program execution?
Based on the use case, we were searching for an option to restore database backup as files to storage account from recovery service vault. Then we can download the backup from SAS URL and proceed to restore!
But we cannot find such options in official documents.
Am aware that we can restore backup to azure VM as files and databases.
Any thoughts or Suggestions are much appreciated.

You are looking in the market place for the recovery services vault. If you search in the Azure portal you should be able to find it as below.
Whats the best way to see logs for application gateways in Azure, can I use the portal?
I need to see logs for a WAF and the rules triggered. Can someone advise the best way to do this?
you cannot really use portal for that, you can use Azure Storage Explorer or you can configure your logs to flow to Azure Monitor and view\search them there.
Here's how you would configure logs: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/application-gateway/application-gateway-diagnostics
I currently use Azure snapshots to backup my Azure-hosted Windows servers. The problem is that if my Azure-hosted Windows VM fails restoring a snapshot can take hours. That is way too much downtime. Is there a solution that will let me backup an Azure VM and restore it directly to Azure that is faster and/or better than the built-in Azure snapshotting?
I suggest you to use Azure IaaS VM backup to backup and restore your VMs. Azure backups can be created through the Azure portal. This method provides a browser-based user interface to create and configure Azure backups and all related resources. You can protect your data by taking backups at regular intervals. Azure Backup creates recovery points that can be stored in geo-redundant recovery vaults. This article details how to back up a virtual machine (VM) with the Azure portal.
I've setup an Azure Backup vault some time ago and made backups of my systems to it. The backup vault is of type 'Backup vault (classic)'
Now there is a new kind of Azure Backup vault that enables alert among other options. I need to make use of that options.
How can I migrate the classic vault (which contains a lot of historical information) to the new vault type (Recovery Services Vault)?
I cannot find any option in the portal, nor can I find a Powershell script to execute the migration.
Unfournately, it's not possible to do that.
Can I migrate a Backup vault to a Recovery Services vault?
Unfortunately no, at this time you can't migrate the contents of a
Backup vault to a Recovery Services vault. We are working on adding
this functionality, but it is not currently available.

It's better wait for a while.
Now you can upgrade a Backup vault to a Recovery Services vault. The upgrade process doesn't impact any running backup jobs, and no backup data is lost. The primary reasons to upgrade a Backup vault to a Recovery Services vault:
•All features of a Backup vault are retained in a Recovery Services vault.
•Recovery Services vaults have more features than Backup vaults, including:
better security, integrated monitoring, faster restores and item-level restores.
•Manage backup items from an improved, simplified portal.
•New features only apply to Recovery Services vaults.
