2020-08-26T09:29:40.257+00:00 @Jim The data in the recovery service vault cannot be moved. Please refer to the doc here. However, you can choose to retain the data in RS vault by stop protecting the VM and start to re-protect in the new recovery service vault. Older recovery points would be available for you in RS vault(old).

How are you?
I try to stop the backup whithout deleting the recovering point and backup the vm with another vault and didnt work.
Its seems that i need to delete all backups to use another vault.

Best regards

2020-09-11T11:04:12.28+00:00 @Nuno Magalhaes After 'stop protecting the VM' from vault and when you tried re-protecting the VM in the new vault, what challenges are you facing? Any error message? If yes, please share the screenshot.

2020-09-16T08:54:23.667+00:00 Hello @SadiqhAhmed-MSFT
This solution did not work because the agent is attached to the vault and I can only change the vault if I take the registration from the backup
Best regards

2020-09-11T20:02:54.677+00:00 Hello @Nuno Magalhaes As a workaround, you can stop protection by retain data and then moving the VM from existing resource group to another resource group and re-protect that VM in second vault (New Vault)
