How many policies can I create per vault?

answer: |

You can only have up to 200 policies per vault. However, adding new backup policies or editing current policies through Azure Resource Manager (ARM) templates or Azure automation clients such as PowerShell, CLI is limited to 50 over a span of 24 hours.

How can I move data from the Recovery Services vault to on-premises?
7171
answer: |
72-
To move backup data out of Recovery Services Vault, you need to restore the necessary data. If your vault contains backup of on-premises data, use the corresponding agent ([MARS](backup-azure-about-mars.md), [MABS](backup-azure-microsoft-azure-backup.md), or [DPM](backup-azure-dpm-introduction.md#why-back-up-dpm-to-azure)) to restore to on-premises. <br><br> We do not support exporting data directly from the Recovery Services vault to on-premises storage for backup of cloud workload ([Azure VMs](backup-azure-arm-restore-vms.md#restore-options), [SQL](restore-sql-database-azure-vm.md#restore-as-files), and [SAP HANA](sap-hana-db-restore.md#restore-as-files) in Azure VMs). However, you can restore these to the corresponding cloud resources in Azure Storage Accounts, and then move the data to on-premises. You can also export this data to on-premises via [Data Box](../databox/data-box-overview.md) or [Import/Export](../import-export/storage-import-export-service.md).

What is the difference between a geo-redundant storage (GRS) vault with and without the Cross-Region Restore (CRR) capability enabled?
7676
answer: |
77-
In the case of a [GRS](azure-backup-glossary.md#grs) vault without [CRR](azure-backup-glossary.md#cross-region-restore-crr) capability enabled, the data in the secondary region can't be accessed until Azure declares a disaster in the primary region. In such a scenario, the restore happens from the secondary region. When CRR is enabled, even if the primary region is up and running, you can trigger a restore in the secondary region.

Can I move a subscription that contains a vault to a different Azure Active Directory?

answer: |

Yes. To move a subscription (that contains a vault) to a different Azure Active Directory (AD), see [Transfer subscription to a different directory](../role-based-access-control/transfer-subscription.md).

>Ensure that you perform the following actions after moving the subscription:<ul><li>Role-based access control permissions and custom roles are not transferrable. You must recreate the permissions and roles in the new Azure AD.</li><li>You must recreate the Managed Identity (MI) of the vault by disabling and enabling it again. Also, you must evaluate and recreate the MI permissions.</li><li>If the vault uses features which leverage MI, such as [Private Endpoints](private-endpoints.md#before-you-start) and [Customer Managed Keys](encryption-at-rest-with-cmk.md#before-you-start), you must reconfigure the features.</li></ul>

For Azure VM Linux backups, Azure Backup supports [the list of distributions endorsed by Azure](../virtual-machines/linux/endorsed-distros.md), except Core OS Linux and 32-bit operating system. Other bring-your-own Linux distributions might work as long as the VM agent is available on the VM, and support for Python exists.
