Correct answer: From the RSV1 blade, click Backup items and stop the VM2 backup.
Why this is the answer
To back up VM2 to a new vault (RSV2), you must first stop the existing backup to RSV1. Azure Backup does not allow a single VM to be backed up to multiple Recovery Services vaults simultaneously. Stopping the backup in RSV1 releases the VM from that vault's protection policy, making it available to be configured for backup in RSV2. The other options are incorrect because: Configuring backup from RSV2 directly will fail as VM2 is already associated with RSV1. Disaster recovery settings (Azure Site Recovery) are distinct from Azure Backup and don't manage backup vault associations. Exporting a backup job from RSV1 does not stop the active backup or free up the VM for a new vault.
