AWS Backup using CloudFormation

Question

Although I have full administrator access, I am facing the below error while importing a JSON file into my CloudFormation stack:

Resource handler returned message: "Insufficient privileges to perform this action. (Service: Backup, Status Code: 403, Request ID: ccbc62b1-0e6c-4713-93fb-f3e911883744)" (RequestToken: 973c8d39-07a6-02b7-317a-781aeebf5c7d, HandlerErrorCode: GeneralServiceException)

Hello.

The backup vault "aws/efs/automatic-backup-vault" is for EFS' default automatic backup, so I don't think it can be imported into CloudFormation etc.  
The backup plan "aws/efs/automatic-backup-plan" is probably managed by AWS, so I don't think it can be managed by CloudFormation.  
https://repost.aws/knowledge-center/efs-disable-automatic-backups  
https://docs.aws.amazon.com/aws-backup/latest/devguide/create-auto-backup.html  
> The Amazon EFS automatic backup vault aws/efs/automatic-backup-vault is reserved for those automatic backups only. If you use it as a destination for other backup plans, you will receive an "insufficient privileges" error.
