DataProtectionMgmtClient

✓ from azure.mgmt.dataprotection import DataProtectionMgmtClient

✗ from azure.mgmt.dataprotection import DataProtectionClient

The client class name is DataProtectionMgmtClient, not DataProtectionClient.

Initialize the client and list backup vaults in a resource group.

from azure.identity import DefaultAzureCredential from azure.mgmt.dataprotection import DataProtectionMgmtClient subscription_id = os.environ.get('AZURE_SUBSCRIPTION_ID', '') credential = DefaultAzureCredential() client = DataProtectionMgmtClient(credential, subscription_id) # List backup vaults vaults = client.backup_vaults.list_by_resource_group(resource_group_name='myResourceGroup') for vault in vaults: print(vault.name)

Known issues

breakingVersion 2.0.0 introduced breaking changes: resource model classes were flattened, and operation groups like BackupVaultsOperations were renamed. Check migration guide before upgrading from 1.x.

fix

Review the changelog at https://github.com/Azure/azure-sdk-for-python/blob/main/sdk/dataprotection/azure-mgmt-dataprotection/CHANGELOG.md

affects: 1.x -> 2.0.0+

deprecatedThe method 'delete' on backup instances now requires the 'x-ms-authorization-auxiliary' header for cross-tenant scenarios. Future releases may remove the overload without it.

fix

Pass the auxiliary token header using a HttpRequest pipeline policy or use the 'azure-common' client option.

affects: >=2.0.0

gotchaThe API version used by the client is hardcoded to a specific date (e.g., 2023-01-01). Manual override is not supported; you must ensure the server supports this version.

fix

Check the API version in the client source code; if incompatibility occurs, use a different SDK version that targets appropriate API version.

affects: all

gotchaThe `BackupVaultsOperations.get` method returns a `BackupVaultResource` object, not a dict. Accessing properties incorrectly (e.g., vault['name']) will raise TypeError.

fix

Use attribute access e.g., vault.name, vault.location, etc.

affects: all

Errors

Common errors & fixes

ImportError: cannot import name 'DataProtectionMgmtClient' from 'azure.mgmt.dataprotection' (unknown location)

The package is not installed or the import path is incorrect.

fix

Install the package: pip install azure-mgmt-dataprotection, then use from azure.mgmt.dataprotection import DataProtectionMgmtClient

AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'name'

A resource (e.g., backup vault) does not exist or the resource group name is incorrect, resulting in None.

fix

Verify the resource group name and the presence of the resource. Check subscription ID and credentials.

azure.core.exceptions.HttpResponseError: (MissingSubscription) The request did not have a subscription or a valid tenant level resource provider.

The subscription ID is missing or invalid in the client initialization.

fix

Ensure subscription_id is provided and correct. Set AZURE_SUBSCRIPTION_ID environment variable or pass it directly.
