Creating Azure Recovery Service Vault - Python SDK - bad request

Question

I am trying to create a Recovery Service Vault in Azure using Python SDK. Package version: azure-mgmt-recoveryservices==2.0.0

Code snippet:

client=RecoveryServicesClient(client_secret_credential, subscription_id)
client.vaults.begin_create_or_update(
    resource_group_name="my-custom-rg",
    vault_name="name_of_the_vault",
    vault={
        "location": "centralus", 
        "sku": {
            "name": "Standard",
        },
        "identity": {
            "type": "SystemAssigned",
        }
    }
)

I got the following error:

  File "/<my-computer-path>/azure/lib/python3.8/site-packages/azure/mgmt/recoveryservices/operations/_vaults_operations.py", line 293, in _create_or_update_initial
    raise HttpResponseError(response=response, error_format=ARMErrorFormat)
azure.core.exceptions.HttpResponseError: Operation returned an invalid status 'Bad Request'

What am I doing wrong? How could I do more "error investigation"?

@DeepDave-MT: Thank you for your help, based on the unit tests I could figure it out. However, we have a same issue and could not find any code examples, unit tests. So, I have opened an issue [here](https://github.com/Azure/azure-sdk-for-python/issues/21586#) — Robert, Nov 04 '21 at 13:34

Thank you Robert. Posting your suggestion as an answer to help other community members.

This error azure.core.exceptions.HttpResponseError: Operation returned an invalid status 'Bad Request' is caused by missing backup_policy_resource properties.

policy_resource = BaseBackupPolicyResource(properties=backup_policy)

poller = client.backup_policies.create_or_update(
    vault_name="my-vault-name",
    resource_group_name="my-resource-group",
    backup_policy_name="my-daily-backup",
    parameters=policy_resource
)
