Microsoft Azure Recoveryservices Management Client Library for Python
Decision gist · record as of 2026-08-14
Yes. This is the official, actively maintained Azure SDK for Recovery Services management in Python. Install friction is low, it has no known vulnerabilities, and the MIT license poses no restrictions. Use it if you need to manage Azure backup or disaster recovery resources programmatically. Be aware that version 4.0.0 introduced breaking changes; review the migration guide if upgrading from 3.x.AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying
Before you install
- Requires Python 3.10+; Azure subscription and Microsoft Entra credentials (AZURE_CLIENT_ID, AZURE_TENANT_ID, AZURE_CLIENT_SECRET, AZURE_SUBSCRIPTION_ID environment variables) must be configured.
- Low friction install with three lightweight runtime dependencies.
- Actively maintained; last release 38 days ago with recent feature additions (cost management, immutability settings).

What it is and what it does
This is the official Microsoft Azure SDK client library for managing Recovery Services resources in Python. It wraps the Azure Resource Manager API to let you create, configure, and manage backup vaults, disaster recovery settings, and related infrastructure programmatically. The library depends on isodate for date parsing, azure-mgmt-core for common ARM client patterns, and typing-extensions for runtime type hints.
Typical use is to authenticate via Microsoft Entra, instantiate RecoveryServicesClient with your subscription ID, and then call methods on operation groups to manage vaults, backup policies, and security settings. Recent versions (4.0.0+) introduced breaking changes around hybrid models and removed some legacy response wrappers, so upgrading existing code may require migration work.
Use it for
- Automate backup vault provisioning and configuration across multiple Azure subscriptions in infrastructure-as-code pipelines.
- Retrieve and monitor vault properties, security settings, and cost management configurations from a central management application.
- Programmatically manage soft-delete, immutability, and multi-user authorization policies on Recovery Services vaults.
- Integrate vault lifecycle operations (create, update, delete) into orchestration workflows.
- Query deleted vault state and perform undelete operations as part of disaster recovery or compliance workflows.
