To store backups for an Azure virtual machine, you must create a Recovery Services vault. A Recovery Services vault is a storage entity in Azure that houses backup data for resources like IaaS virtual machines, SQL Server in Azure VMs, and Azure Files shares. While a "Backup vault" is also an Azure resource, it is used for different workloads, such as Azure Database for PostgreSQL servers, Azure Blobs, and Azure Disks. A Storage account is used for general-purpose data storage but is not the specific resource type that integrates with Azure Backup for VM protection. "Recovery Storage vault" is not a valid Azure resource name.
