    Hi @Nikhil Verma,

    Any precise Az CLI command example can be shared which I can try in our environment?

    Here’s an example of a precise Azure CLI command for cross-subscription restore:

    az backup recoveryconfig show --resource-group <source-resource-group> --vault-name <vault-name> --container-name <container-name> --item-name <item-name> --restore-mode AlternateWorkloadRestore --rp-name <restore-point-name> --target-container-name <target-container-name> --target-item-name <target-item-name> --target-resource-group <target-resource-group> --target-server-name <target-server-name> --target-server-type SQLInstance --target-subscription-id <target-subscription-id> --target-vault-name <target-vault-name> --workload-type SQLDataBase
    

    Running the command with the --debug flag can provide more detailed error messages, which might help you identify the issue. To do this, simply add the --debug flag to the end of your command:

    az backup recoveryconfig show --resource-group <resource_group_name> --vault-name <vault_name> ... --debug
    

    For more information, please refer the document: Cross Subscription Restore.
