    Import

    Azure Backup Protected File Shares can be imported using the resource id, e.g.

     $ pulumi import azure:backup/protectedFileShare:ProtectedFileShare item1 "/subscriptions/00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000/resourceGroups/group1/providers/Microsoft.RecoveryServices/vaults/example-recovery-vault/backupFabrics/Azure/protectionContainers/StorageContainer;storage;group2;example-storage-account/protectedItems/AzureFileShare;3f6e3108a45793581bcbd1c61c87a3b2ceeb4ff4bc02a95ce9d1022b23722935"
    

    -> NOTE The ID requires quoting as there are semicolons. This user unfriendly ID can be found in the Deployments of the used resourcegroup, look for an Deployment which starts with ConfigureAFSProtection-, click then Go to resource.
