    @GVS Thank you for your post!

    As per error message it looks like the disk was part of a VM configured with Azure backup.

    To move virtual machines configured with Azure Backup, use the following workaround:

    · Find the location of your Virtual Machine.

    · Find a resource group with the following naming pattern: AzureBackupRG_<location of your VM>_1 for example, AzureBackupRG_westus2_1

    · If in Azure portal, then check "Show hidden types"

    · If in PowerShell, use the Get-AzResource -ResourceGroupName AzureBackupRG_<location of your VM>_1 cmdlet

    · If in CLI, use the az resource list -g AzureBackupRG_<location of your VM>_1

    · Find the resource with type Microsoft.Compute/restorePointCollections that has the naming pattern AzureBackup_<name of your VM that you're trying to move>_###########

    · Delete this resource. This operation deletes only the instant recovery points, not the backed-up data in the vault.

    · After delete is complete, you can move the vault and virtual machine to the target subscription. After the move, you can continue backups with no loss in data.

    · For information about moving Recovery Service vaults for backup, see Recovery Services limitations.

    Please feel free to ping with questions if required further assistance in this matter!
