Azure: select resource gorup where to store VM backups

[ghost]

This issue was originally opened by @Massimo80 as hashicorp/terraform#24764. It was migrated here as a result of the provider split. The original body of the issue is below.

---

When using azurerm_backup_policy_vm to perform VM backups, the actual restore points are stored in a resource group which is automatically named AzureBackupRG_region_X (where region is the Azure region and X is a progressive number). This can be modified in Azure, like showed here:

However, this doesn't seem to be configurable in Terraform. Is this possible at all? If not, this really needs to be supported.

I don't quite understand... my issue has been closed but I can't find any solution, or ongoing work, for it. Can someone please explain?

[ArcturusZhang]

Hi @Massimo80 your issue is automatically migrated to this repo since it is an issue on the azurerm provider. I will have a look at this to see whether it is possible to add an option for the target resource group.

[MassimoPascucci]

Thanks @ArcturusZhang, I didn't know the provider-specific repos were separate from the main one; my error.

@ArcturusZhang any update on this? need the ability to deploy azurerm_backup_policy_vm with the Azure Backup Resource Group option available.

In ARM it's: "instantRPDetails": "[parameters('instantRPDetails')]"

Any update about this feature?

We are currently deploying it using arm template as this is not supported by Terraform.

After 2 and a half years, we should have a basic update to that provider.

[JoshWeepie]

We ran into this same problem this morning unfortunately.

[mukeshravji]

Still no update on this? I just ran into the same issues now

At this point I Would just use the new AZ_API and call it a day. Ya you would have to remove the resource from state and potentially readd it, but you could get it done. (presuming this could be done via arm)
