How to migrate an Azure 'Backup vault classis" to 'Recovery Services vault'?


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.


Solution

  • 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.
