I've setup an Azure Backup vault some time ago and made backups of my systems to it. The backup vault is of type 'Backup vault (classic)'
Now there is a new kind of Azure Backup vault that enables alert among other options. I need to make use of that options.
How can I migrate the classic vault (which contains a lot of historical information) to the new vault type (Recovery Services Vault)?
I cannot find any option in the portal, nor can I find a Powershell script to execute the migration.
Unfournately, it's not possible to do that.
Can I migrate a Backup vault to a Recovery Services vault?
Unfortunately no, at this time you can't migrate the contents of a Backup vault to a Recovery Services vault. We are working on adding this functionality, but it is not currently available.

It's better wait for a while.
Now you can upgrade a Backup vault to a Recovery Services vault. The upgrade process doesn't impact any running backup jobs, and no backup data is lost. The primary reasons to upgrade a Backup vault to a Recovery Services vault:
•All features of a Backup vault are retained in a Recovery Services vault.
•Recovery Services vaults have more features than Backup vaults, including: better security, integrated monitoring, faster restores and item-level restores.
•Manage backup items from an improved, simplified portal.
•New features only apply to Recovery Services vaults.
