The correct answer is B. From the RSV2 blade, click Backup. From the Backup blade, select the backup for the virtual machine, and then click Backup.

Explanation:

In this scenario, VM2 is already backed up to RSV1, but now it needs to be backed up to RSV2. To do this, you need to follow these steps:

Create a new Recovery Services vault: If you have not already created the new Recovery Services vault (RSV2), you need to create it first. This can be done by going to the Azure portal and clicking on Create a resource > Storage > Backup and Site Recovery > Recovery Services vault. Follow the prompts to create the vault.
Enable backup for VM2 on RSV2: Once you have created the new Recovery Services vault, you need to enable backup for VM2 on RSV2. To do this, follow these steps:

Go to the RSV2 blade in the Azure portal.
Click on Backup in the left-hand menu.
Click on + Backup to open the Backup blade.
Select Virtual machine as the Backup goal and click on OK.
In the Backup blade, select the VM2 virtual machine that you want to back up to RSV2.
Click on OK to save the backup policy.

Monitor the backup: After you have enabled backup for VM2 on RSV2, you should monitor the backup to ensure that it is working correctly. You can do this by going to the Backup Jobs blade for RSV2.

Option A is incorrect because stopping the backup on RSV1 will not help you back up VM2 to RSV2.

Option C is incorrect because Disaster recovery is used to replicate virtual machines to another region for disaster recovery purposes. It is not used to back up virtual machines to another Recovery Services vault.

Option D is incorrect because exporting the backup job for VM2 on RSV1 will not help you back up VM2 to RSV2.
