VM and the vault must be on the same region.

    VM can be attached to only one policy.

    Thank you Bechair!!! I was able to understand that after digging some MS documentation.

    https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/backup/backup-azure-vm-backup-faq

    Why can't I see my VM in the Configure Backup wizard?
    The wizard only lists VMs in the same region as the vault, and that aren't already being backed up.
