Backup Protectable Items - List (REST API)

I'm using the endpoint https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/backup/backup-protectable-items/list to get items that are not protected by Recovery Service Vaults (RSV). However, I noticed that some items displayed in the list are from a File Share that is already protected by RSV.

The weird thing to me is the "azureFileShareType" property with the value "XSMB". I have no idea what this is and how to protect it in RSV.

Why do I see some items in it as protectable even with my File Share protected by Recovery Service Vault? Is it possible to protect them? How?

Are you able to fetch the details of item, for which you are observing discrepancy, via Get protected Items API ? (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/backup/protected-items/get)

XSMB is a SMB file share that is not synced with any on-prem server. You don’t need to worry about this property. Treat it as a normal file share.

Why do I see some items in it as protectable even with my File Share protected by Recovery Service Vault? Is it possible to protect them? How?
We would need exact details of the file share for which you are observing discrepancy .Also, did you check the telemetry to confirm if the file share is protected and backups are running successfully ?



If the response helped, do "Accept Answer" and up-vote it.

Hi @SadiqhAhmed-MSFT - Thank you for replying. Sorry my delay in response you.

Let's go:

Yes, I just made this request and works fine. I'll send you privately.
