Goal

Users would like to know impact (if any) by changing the password for database internal account SYSBACKUP.

So, before we proceed with changing those specific passwords:

......is there anything else (besides just changing the password inside a given database) that we must do in conjunction with changing the password inside a given database?
(for example: is that database-internal account's password embedded anywhere else - i.e. outside of the database?  And, do we need to stop/restart anything as a result of changing that password?)

Note1: we do NOT know the account's current password value (and nor do we believe we NEED to know it)
Note2: bear in mind that this is, in every case, a question about changing the password AFTER INSTALLATION TIME
