am i missing anything here.

Answer 1

ERROR: Storage not found or not supported.

According to this MS-Document, the above error occurs when the storage account may have been deleted or created in a different region (like France or Germany).

When I tried with a different region like (France) for the storage account, I too got the same error:

When I tried with the same region like (East US) for the storage account, it created a backup policy for the file share.

Command and output:

az backup protection enable-for-azurefileshare --policy-name policy1 --resource-group xxx --vault-name  azurefilesvault --storage-account "venkat789" --azure-file-share "share3" --output table
Name                                  ResourceGroup
