Hey @Satish B

Have a look at Backup Resource Manager VMs using Recovery Services vault. The bicep uses a flag to determine if to create a new resource or not, but since you already have the resources created, you can leverage the existing keyword instead.

resource existingSiteRecovery 'Microsoft.SiteRecovery/vaults@2021-03-01' existing = {
  name: 'myExistingSiteRecoveryVault'
  scope: resourceGroup('myResourceGroup')
}

resource existingVM 'Microsoft.Compute/virtualMachines@2021-03-01' existing = {
  name: 'myExistingVM'
  scope: resourceGroup('myResourceGroup')
}
