Hi @jaleef
You can transition from existing agent based backup towards application aware backups by implementing the following requirements:
To include virtual machines that were previously configured for application backup using an application agent such as the SQL Server agent, ensure that the following requirements are met for the application:
For the default subclient of the application, select Virtual Server Application Snap as the snapshot engine.
Specify the same server plan for the application subclient and the VSA subclient.
The application-aware workflow automatically makes these changes for existing application clients.
