Explanation

Backing up an Azure Files share using Azure Backup requires a Recovery Services vault - not the newer Backup vault, which does not support Azure Files. The Recovery Services vault is the foundational resource that hosts the backup policy and stores recovery points for Azure Files shares. In this scenario, the Azure Storage account and Azure Files share (share1) already exist, so the missing prerequisite is the Recovery Services vault. You create the vault first, then configure a backup policy targeting the Azure Files share.
