Create new Vault for my existing VMs

Im having a problem with the recovery service vaults.

Ive got 3 VMs in one RG and they are currently backuped in one RSVault.

These RSVault have been created some time ago by my precursor and he used really weird namings.

Now I created for every RG a new RSVault with the correct namings. Because there is no possibility to rename a RSVault. (as much as I know, tell me if its possible)

Now I wanted to move the VMs to the new Vault, I noticed there is no way to move them without completely delete the existing vault.

Im fine with deleting the vaults, I know how to do it with PS without problems.

But for security reasons I have to save some restorepoints somewhere.

Now, how do I export the restorepoints somewhere else in the RG, so I can delete the vault?

I just have to save them for around 3 weeks until I can delete them completely.

    Jim-2159 I have answered your query here - https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/questions/75965/how-to-move-my-vms-from-an-existing-rsvault-to-a-n.html?childToView=77509#answer-77509

    I don't think you can save restore points in some other RG. I would suggest you try restore disk option which lets you store your data in a disk and then create a VM using that disk.
