Azure Online Backup & DPM

[paradigm]

Now I know the likelihood of other businesses being quite as up to date as us are slim, but I thought I'd ask just in case!

I've just finished configuring Azure Online Backup, linked to our DPM 2012 SP1 (Rollup 3) server (Windows 2012 Datacenter), and backups of the test protection group are indeed copying over to our Vault in Azure.

What I can't find is a disaster recovery procedure for recovering data from Azure in the event that I need to use a different DPM server?

Has anyone managed to recover to a new infrastructure?

With Server 2012 when you set it up you are asked to create a key (a very long password). If you have that, you can restore from anywhere (so obviously guard it with your life). Don't know if DPM is the same, but it's based on Windows 2012, so my assumption is it probably works in a similar way.
