To back up a single resource (for example, a single VM), you must create a resource group that contains that single resource.

Although it's possible to create a resource group without a backup policy, you can only perform scheduled data protection operations when at least one policy is attached to the resource group. You can use an existing policy, or you can create a new policy while creating a resource group.
