Recovery-Services-vault backup not done in secondary region

Hi kuldeep singh

Recovery Services vault supports local redundancy, zone redundancy, and geo-redundancy for storage. Storage redundancy is a setting that must be configured before protecting any workloads. Once a workload is protected in Recovery Services vault, the setting is locked and can't be changed

kuldeep singh hi there,

thanks for posting this, its a tricky one but we'll sort it out. first, check if u have geo redundant storage enabled for ur recovery services vault. if not, backups won't automatically replicate to the secondary region, look how to verify at https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/backup/backup-create-rs-vault#set-storage-redundancy.

aha, if its already set to geo redundant but still not working, the issue might be with the backup policy itself. make sure u configured cross region restore properly https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/backup/backup-create-rs-vault#set-cross-region-restore.

also worth looking into the replication status manually. sometimes azure needs a little push )) try this command in azure cli

az backup vault backup-properties show --name MyVault --resource-group MyResourceGroup --query "storageTypeState"

this might help in other tools too, not just azure.

as well check the region pairing. not all regions play nice together ) https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/best-practices-availability-paired-regions.

monitor replication jobs. they can fail silently like a french mime ) set up alerts to catch issues early.

and yes, remember that initial replication takes time. if u just set this up, grab some coffee while azure does its thing ))

let me know if u still see issues after trying these!

Best regards,

Alex
