What must be done before using a different Recovery Services vault to protect a virtual machine?

Stop the VM2 backup from the RSV1 blade.
Export the VM2 backup from the RSV1 blade.
Select the backup from the Backup blade in RSV1.
Change the replication settings of the VM2 to point to RSV2.

The correct answer is: Stop the VM2 backup from the RSV1 blade.

To utilize a different Recovery Services vault for protecting a virtual machine, it is necessary to ensure that the existing backup configuration is properly handled. Stopping the virtual machine's backup from the original Recovery Services vault is a crucial step because backups tied to one vault cannot be seamlessly transferred to another without first being disabled. When you stop the VM's backup, it stops creating backups and releases the existing association with the original Recovery Services vault. This action prepares the VM to be associated with the new vault, allowing for a fresh backup strategy without conflicts or duplications in the backup process. Once the backup has been stopped, you can then configure the virtual machine to use the new Recovery Services vault without any issues. This step is essential to maintain a clean backup environment and ensure that the newly configured backups function correctly without remnants of prior settings.
