'NoneType' object has no attribute 'id' for az backup protection enable-for-azurefileshare if fileshare already protected

Describe the bug ‘NoneType’ object has no attribute ‘id’ for az backup protection enable-for-azurefileshare if fileshare already protected

To Reproduce

az backup protection enable-for-azurefileshare --azure-file-share $filesharename --policy-name $policyname --storage-account $storageaccount --resource-group $resourcegroup --vault-name $vaultname --subscription $subscription
az backup protection enable-for-azurefileshare --azure-file-share $filesharename --policy-name $policyname --storage-account $storageaccount --resource-group $resourcegroup --vault-name $vaultname --subscription $subscription```

Expected behavior Running command twice with same parameters works so that it is idempotent

Environment summary azure-cli 2.8.0

command-modules-nspkg 2.0.3 core 2.8.0 nspkg 3.0.4 telemetry 1.0.4

I have the same problem but the first time that I execute the command az backup protection enable-for-azurefileshare within an unprotected fileshare. Any idea?

The command failed with an unexpected error. Here is the traceback:
