Question

You create a new Recovery Services vault named RSV1 to protect several Azure VMs. Before configuring any backups, you want to change the vault's backup storage redundancy from the default GRS to LRS to reduce costs. When you open the Backup Infrastructure settings, the storage redundancy option is greyed out and cannot be changed. What is the most likely reason?

Accepted Answer

A backup item has already been registered or a backup has been configured in the vault, which locks the redundancy setting.

Answer

Storage redundancy can only be modified after at least one backup item has been protected in the vault.

Answer

LRS is not a supported redundancy option for Recovery Services vaults; only GRS and ZRS are available.

Answer

The vault must be upgraded to an Azure Backup vault before storage redundancy can be modified.
