@Senthilnath TM Greetings!
Sorry for the delayed response. To continue using Azure Recovery Vaults for backup without storage access keys, you can consider using Azure Managed Identities, which provide Azure services with an automatically managed identity in Azure Active Directory (Azure AD). Managed Identities can be used to authenticate to services that support Azure AD authentication, including Azure Recovery Vaults.
Here's a general approach to achieve this:
Enable Managed Identities: For the Azure resources you want to back up, enable a system-assigned managed identity or use a user-assigned managed identity.
Grant Permissions: Assign the necessary role-based access control (RBAC) permissions to the managed identity for the Recovery Services vault. This typically includes permissions to perform backup and restore operations.
Configure Backup Policy: Adjust your backup policy to use the managed identity for authentication instead of storage access keys.
Monitor Backups: Ensure that your backups are running successfully with the new configuration by monitoring the backup jobs in the Recovery Services vault.
For detailed steps and guidance, you can refer to the Azure documentation on encrypting backup data in a Backup vault by using customer-managed keys and managing access to Azure resources using RBAC and Azure AD.
If you encounter any issues or need further assistance, Azure support can provide more specific guidance based on your environment and requirements. Remember to test any changes in a non-production environment before applying them to your live resources to ensure that your backups continue to function as expected. If you have any more questions or need further assistance, feel free to ask.
