Issue Details :

In one of my previous article, I am working on an exercise, where I had to restore my file share from the backup using powershell. I have gather all recovery point and then tried to restore the backup using following PowerShell command.

Restore-AzRecoveryServicesBackupItem -RecoveryPoint $ManasRecoveryPoint[0] -ResolveConflict Overwrite

but it ends with the and error. Below is the error details.

Restore-AzRecoveryServicesBackupItem : Set vault context first using cmdlet Set-AzRecoveryServicesVaultContext
At line:1 char:1Restore-AzRecoveryServicesBackupItem -RecoveryPoint $ManasRecoveryPoi …~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~CategoryInfo : InvalidArgument: (:) [Restore-AzRecoveryServicesBackupItem], ArgumentException

FullyQualifiedErrorId : Microsoft.Azure.Commands.RecoveryServices.Backup.Cmdlets.RestoreAzureRmRecoveryServicesBackupItem

Solution Details

As it suggested, we have to set the context of our vault, when we get it as showing in the following example.

$ManasVault = Get-AzRecoveryServicesVault -ResourceGroupName "StorageAndDatabase" -Name "Manas-Storage-RSV-PS"
Set-AzRecoveryServicesVaultContext -Vault $ManasVault

I just skipped it because some where in one Microsoft document, it mentioned that, the Set-AzRecoveryServicesVaultContext command is going to be deprecated soon. I re-executed the command after set the context of the vault and this time it ends with restoring my file share as showing in the following figure.
