Enable Azure Backup Alerts using powershell

Question

Dear All,

Can you someone help me to enable the Azure Backup Alerts using Powershell, I have 300+ subscription which we need to enable the backup alerts for the Azure backup

Answer 1

Use on your own risk!
This script is not tested!

Import-Module Az 
$tenantId = '<your Azure Tenant ID>'
$emailAddress = '******@test.org'
Connect-AzAccount -Tenant $tenantId
$subs = Get-AzSubscription
Foreach ($sub in $subs)
    {
    select-AzSubscription $sub | Out-Null
    $subName = $sub.Name
    $rsvs = Get-AzRecoveryServicesVault
    foreach ($rsv in $rsvs)
        {
            $rsvName = $rsv.Name
            $rsvRg = $rsv.resourceGroupName
            Write-Host "Subscription = $subName`r`nRSVname = $rsvName`r`nRG = $rsvRG"
            Set-AzRecoveryServicesAsrVaultContext -Vault $rsv | Out-Null
            Set-AzRecoveryServicesAsrAlertSetting -CustomEmailAddress $emailAddress -LocaleID "en-us" -EnableEmailSubscriptionOwner | Out-Null
        }
    }

After some more searching I found these two:

https://feedback.azure.com/forums/258995-azure-backup/suggestions/39877798-configure-notifications-for-backup-alerts-in-recov

It might be that Azure Backup Alert Notifications can't be configured via PowerShell today.

Answer 2

The raw structure of the PowerShell script could look like this:

1. Login to the Azure Tenant
2. Get all Subscriptions
3. For each Subscription get the Ressource Groups
4. For each Resource Group check if a Recovery Service Vault exists
5. If yes: Get the Recovery Service Vault and add the Alert Notification
6. Next Ressource Group ...
7. If done next Subscription ...

Maybe it's possible to get it done easier, I haven't tried this:

1. Login to Azure Tenant
2. Get all Subscriptions
3. For each Subscription get all Recovery Service Vaults
4. For each Recovery Service Vault add the Alert Notification
5. Next Subscription
