Answer
Create a new Recovery Services vault in the East US region.
To back up a virtual machine in Azure, the Recovery Services vault must be in the same region as the virtual machine. Since the new virtual machine is being deployed to the East US region and the existing vault is in the West US region, a new Recovery Services vault must be created in the East US region.
