    The lockNotes parameter must be between quotes.

    Try the following command

    New-AzResourceLock -LockName test -LockLevel CanNotDelete -ResourceGroupName rg -ResourceName resorcename -LockNotes "Protection Auto created by Azure Backup" -ResourceType Microsoft.Storage/storageAccounts -Force

    Hope this helps!

    You should either have string variabel that contains Lock Notes or put the lock notes string in quotes,

    $myLocknotes = "Protection Auto created by Azure Backup"
New-AzResourceLock -LockName test -LockLevel CanNotDelete -ResourceGroupName rg -ResourceName resorcename -LockNotes myLocknotes  -ResourceType Microsoft.Storage/storageAccounts -Force

    Or

    New-AzResourceLock -LockName test -LockLevel CanNotDelete -ResourceGroupName rg -ResourceName resorcename -LockNotes "Protection Auto created by Azure Backup" -ResourceType Microsoft.Storage/storageAccounts -Force

    I tried in my environment and same error:

    Commands:

    New-AzResourceLock -LockName test -LockLevel CanNotDelete -ResourceGroupName rg -ResourceName rsname -LockNotes Protection Auto created by Azure Backup -ResourceType Microsoft.Storage/storageAccounts -Force

    Initially i have tried same command:
    enter image description here

    After I changed the Lock notes in String its worked.

    Commands:

      New-AzResourceLock -LockName test -LockLevel CanNotDelete -ResourceGroupName rg -ResourceName rsname -LockNotes "Protection Auto created by Azure Backup" -ResourceType Microsoft.Storage/storageAccounts -Force
