Manages registration of a storage account with Azure Backup. Storage accounts must be registered with an Azure Recovery Vault in order to backup file shares within the storage account. Registering a storage account with a vault creates what is known as a protection container within Azure Recovery Services. Once the container is created, Azure file shares within the storage account can be backed up using the azure.backup.ProtectedFileShare resource.
NOTE: Azure Backup for Azure File Shares is currently in public preview. During the preview, the service is subject to additional limitations and unsupported backup scenarios. Read More
