Error reading azurerm_backup_protected_file_share - BMSUserErrorCrossRegionRestoreNotEnabledInThisVault

Question

I am trying to read a backup-protected file share in Azure using the azurerm_backup_protected_file_share resource in my Terraform script. However, when I try to execute the script, I get the following error message:

Error: BMSUserErrorCrossRegionRestoreNotEnabledInThisVault: Cross region restore is not enabled for the backup vault <vault_name>.

I have double-checked that the backup vault exists and that the file share is protected by a backup policy in the vault. I have also confirmed that the credentials I am using to authenticate with Azure have the necessary permissions to access the backup vault.

What could be causing this error, and how can I resolve it?

Try changing the verion of your provider .

I have following azurerm provider version and it worked.

Providers.tf

azurerm = {
      source  = "hashicorp/azurerm"
      //version = "=3.0.2"
      version = "=3.50.0"
       
    }

Code:

resource "azurerm_backup_container_storage_account" "protection-container" {
  resource_group_name = xxxx
  recovery_vault_name = xxxx
  storage_account_id  = xxx
}

resource "azurerm_backup_policy_file_share" "example" {
  name                = "tfexxxxpolicy"
  resource_group_name = data.azurerm_resource_group.example.name
  recovery_vault_name = azurerm_recovery_services_vault.vault.name
  

  backup {
    frequency = "Daily"
    time      = "23:00"
  }

  retention_daily {
    count = 10
  }
}

resource "azurerm_backup_protected_file_share" "share1" {
  
  resource_group_name = data.azurerm_resource_group.example.name
  recovery_vault_name       = azurerm_recovery_services_vault.vault.name
  source_storage_account_id = azurerm_backup_container_storage_account.protection-container.storage_account_id
  source_file_share_name    = azurerm_storage_share.example.name
  backup_policy_id          = azurerm_backup_policy_file_share.example.id

}
