Unable to move Disk from one subscription to another subcription

Question

Hi,

I'm unable to move disk from one subscription to another subscription. It is giving below error msg.

ResourceMoveProviderValidationFailed","message":"Resource move validation failed. Please see details. Diagnostic information:"The move resources request contains resources like that are being backed up as part of a Azure Backup job.

@GVS Thank you for your post!

As per error message it looks like the disk was part of a VM configured with Azure backup.

To move virtual machines configured with Azure Backup, use the following workaround:

· Find the location of your Virtual Machine.

· Find a resource group with the following naming pattern: AzureBackupRG_<location of your VM>_1 for example, AzureBackupRG_westus2_1

· If in Azure portal, then check "Show hidden types"

· If in PowerShell, use the Get-AzResource -ResourceGroupName AzureBackupRG_<location of your VM>_1 cmdlet

· If in CLI, use the az resource list -g AzureBackupRG_<location of your VM>_1

· Find the resource with type Microsoft.Compute/restorePointCollections that has the naming pattern AzureBackup_<name of your VM that you're trying to move>_###########

· Delete this resource. This operation deletes only the instant recovery points, not the backed-up data in the vault.

· After delete is complete, you can move the vault and virtual machine to the target subscription. After the move, you can continue backups with no loss in data.

· For information about moving Recovery Service vaults for backup, see Recovery Services limitations.

Please feel free to ping with questions if required further assistance in this matter!
