Migration from MSSQL DMO to MSSQL VSS
To start using MSSQL backup through VSS it is not enough to migrate from the previous 11.5.4.11178 or older to the last released version, because after a regular update the Client will continue to backup MSSQL through DMO. Therefore you need to perform several additional actions.
When the migration process from the version you use to the new one is completed, please go to MC and send the remote command migrate to mssql vss to an appropriate account.
As soon as the command is applied (within 5–7 minutes after it is sent), backup of the MSSQL plugin will be automatically started. Wait for its completion and check if it is successful. Only in case of successful session all tabs relating to MSSQL backup through DMO will be hidden and migration to MSSQL VSS will be finally completed.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\SQLWriter\Settings
- also make sure that the version of your MSSQL is 2005 or higher.
