Creating a Recovery Services Vault

In this exercise, you will learn how to create a Recovery Services vault using PowerShell. Complete the steps that follow to deploy your Recovery Services vault:

  1. Run the code in the following GitHub repo to deploy your resource group and your Recovery Services vault: https://packt.link/G0e8j.
  2. Next, you are going to set the redundancy level on your vault to georedundant storage with the following command (this is included in the preceding script):
    $vault1 = Get-AzRecoveryServicesVault -Name $VaultName
Set-AzRecoveryServicesBackupProperty -Vault $vault1 `
-BackupStorageRedundancy GeoRedundant
