To configure backups for Azure virtual machines, you need to create a Recovery Services vault. A Recovery Services vault is an Azure resource that stores backup data and recovery points, and provides the interface to manage backups and restores. A Storage Account is used for general-purpose storage but is not designed specifically for backups. A Backup Policy defines the schedule and retention of backups but does not store the backup data itself. A Resource Group is a container used to manage multiple Azure resources but does not store backup data.
