+- **Migrate from locally redundant backup storage to geo-redundant backup storage for existing flexible server**
+
+    Azure Database for MySQL - Flexible Server now provides the added flexibility to migrate to geo-redundant backup storage from locally redundant backup storage post server-create to provide higher data resiliency. Enabling geo-redundancy via the server's Compute + Storage blade empowers customers to recover their existing flexible servers from a geographic disaster or regional failure when they can’t access the server in the primary region. With this feature enabled for their existing servers, customers can perform geo-restore and deploy a new server to the geo-paired Azure region leveraging the original server’s latest available geo-redundant backup.

You can mitigate it by submit the deployment request separately for to enable\disable and configuration changes. You would not have issue with Portal or Azure cli as these are request already separated.

The fix will be deployed to the production in the next deployment cycle.
