Hello,
I want to launch the first backup of an Azure VM using Python SDK and I found out that there is no proper method for VMs that were never backed up in opposition to those who were backed up at least once.
Using the RecoveryServicesBackupClient at its latest known version, I am trying to trigger a backup for an item but it is mentioned that this item should be a protected one according to the documentation. Therefore having an unprotected item, I am looking for a method which would turn an unprotected item into a protected one but I could not find any which would do this.
I want to emphasize that this VM was never backed up before since the opposite leads to it being an protected item thus being available for retrieval using the trigger method shown before.
