If we have two ip address allocated with one VM name, how can we trigger backup?
I am using below azure backup command:
az backup protection backup-now --resource-group <rg> --vault-name <vault> --container-name <container> --item-name <vm name> --retain-until 20-11-2020 --backup-management-type AzureIaasVM

And getting below error:
Command group 'backup' is in preview. It may be changed/removed in a future release.\nMultiple items found. Please give native names instead.

    Hi @Biswas, Amita ,

    As far as I know it's currently not possible to trigger an Azure Backup by using the IP address.
