Delete the NetBackup Kubernetes operator

You can delete a NetBackup Kubernetes operator deployment from a cluster.

As you cannot upgrade a NetBackup Kubernetes operator deployment form an older version, you can install a newer version, and delete the older version.

Deleting the NetBackup Kubernetes operator results in the loss of metadata volume, which also hosts the snapshot metadata. If any snapshots are already performed, then restore from snapshot copy operation fails in the absence of metadata.

Do not delete the associated Velero snapshots before deleting the older snapshots manually.

In NetBackup 10.0, you cannot perform expiration of Velero managed snapshots which were created using NetBackup 9.1. When the backup images are expired in NetBackup, the catalog is automatically cleared. But you must delete the snapshot on Kubernetes server manually.
