Conversion of Unmanaged disk VM to Managed disk VM

When using BAR GUI, need to use option 3 "Restore individual directories and files to different location" which allows changing the configuration during restore.

Rename following file entries:

/d182ecd4-23c5-4fde-90f3-8951146a385e/NBU-SRG/nbu-an-um-vm11/Metadata/UseManagedDisk=no
=>
/d182ecd4-23c5-4fde-90f3-8951146a385e/NBU-SRG/nbu-an-um-vm11/Metadata/UseManagedDisk=yes
/d182ecd4-23c5-4fde-90f3-8951146a385e/NBU-SRG/nbu-an-um-vm11/
nbusrgdisks439.blob.mtcazs.wwtatc.com/vhds/nbu-an-um-vm1120200625233142.vhd
=>
/d182ecd4-23c5-4fde-90f3-8951146a385e/NBU-SRG/nbu-an-um-vm11/
ManagedDisks:Standard_LRS/NBU-SamRG2/osdisk

Storage account types in lower case is not supported by disk create API and needs to be specified as Standard_LRS, Premium_LRS, etc.
