Issue

The region parameter in the restore request object is not able to get vault location when using the Set-AzureRmRecoveryServicesVaultContext cmdlet.

Workaround

There’s a workaround to solve this issue using a vault object.

$vault = Get-AzureRmRecoveryServicesVault -ResourceGroupName -Name
$restorejob = Restore-AzureRmRecoveryServicesBackupItem -VaultID $vault.ID -VaultLocation $vault.Location -RecoveryPoint $rp[0] -StorageAccountName "DestAccount" -StorageAccountResourceGroupName "DestRG"

Hi, is this fixed? I am still facing this issue.

[siddharth7]

Hi, this has been fixed.
Try using the lastest version https://www.powershellgallery.com/packages/AzureRM.RecoveryServices.Backup/4.5.2

[rupanter]

I am still facing the same issue :

$restorejob = Restore-AzureRmRecoveryServicesBackupItem -RecoveryPoint $rp[0] -StorageAccountName $StorageAccountName -StorageAccountResourceGroupName $StorageAccountResourceGroup -Verbose

Mistake on my end. This fix went in the 2018-04-12 release and there were no AzureRM modules, only Az. You can either upgrade to Az module but you will have to update your existing scripts or you can keep using the same module and use work around by passing vault location and vault Id in the parameters as mentioned above.

[Phoenix0610]

I tried your workaround steps. I am getting the following error

Restore-AzureRmRecoveryServicesBackupItem : Cannot validate argument on parameter 'VaultId'. The argument is
null or empty. Provide an argument that is not null or empty, and then try the command again.

Also upgrading the module didn't help. Any other suggestions ?

[siddharth7]

@SidFallenAngel Looking at the error, it seems like you are passing an empty object in -VaultId parameter. You need to get the vault object using
$vault = Get-AzureRmRecoveryServicesVault -Name -ResourceGroupName .
And pass the vault id i.e. $vault.ID

[Phoenix0610]

@siddharth7 Hi Sid. I tried the same. I did pass the parameter values. However when I just ran $vault to print its value, no value is getting printed. That's weird.

[siddharth7]

@SidFallenAngel Since the $vault is empty, it points to the fact that you are passing wrong params to the get-vault cmdlet. Please run $vault = Get-AzureRmRecoveryServicesVault . It will return all the vaults in your subscription. Check the $vault variable if it contains the vault you are looking for.
