Yes, you can move your backed up file share to a different resource group. However, you will need to reconfigure backup for the file share as it would be treated as a new resource by Azure Backup. Also, the snapshots that were created before the resource group move, will no longer be managed by Azure backup .Hence, you will have to delete those snapshots manually as per your requirement.
