Hello @Siva Thank you for contacting us!

You can monitor Azure files alerts for backup failure and restore failure. For guidance check this URL - https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/backup/backup-azure-monitoring-built-in-monitor#azure-monitor-alerts-for-azure-backup-preview

@Siva Adding more information to @SadiqhAhmed-MSFT , If you need to perform test the failover this option is recommended for the scenario. You can create a test file share( Under Azure file share account) and delete only the test file share.

Recovery vault -> Click on Backup -> Select Azure File share -> Select Azure Storage account -> Select File share to Backup -> You can create a New policy (Backup scheduled) --> Enable Backup

• Go to Azure Recovery Vault -> Backup item -> Select Azure Storage files -> Check the Azure file share is reflecting (test file share) under file share and also perform manual backup.
• Then Go to Backup alert option -> Configure the Notification ( Select all) and also perform manual backup.
• Delete the File share (test file share) , Failover Email will be triggered with a minute(based on your bandwidth).

Note: We need delete the resource lock( since it's in the protection)

If you still find any difficulties, please let me know I would like to work closer on this issue.
