Hi Arnulfo Urquijo

Thanks for reaching out Q/A. To understand more about the issue. Could you please provide below details:

When have you taken snapshot of the disk before resizing the VM or after resizing the VM?

2.Is this snapshot for the OS disk or a data disk? How many partitions did the disk have originally?

3.After restoring, did you attach the disk to a new VM or create a VM directly from the snapshot?

4.Have you tried restoring the individual disks instead of the entire VM?

5.Are you performing the restore in the same Azure region where the VM was backed up?

6.Which specific partitions are missing after the restore that are critical for your operations?

7.Share output of these commands from the restored VM: lsblk -f, sudo fdisk -l /dev/sda (replace sda with your disk), and df -h

8.Any error messages during boot, SSH, or commands?

Additionally, could you please check private message and provide necessary details.
