Delete the NetBackup Kubernetes operator

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

NetBackup Kubernetes operator deletion can result 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.

In NetBackup 9.1, you must first delete the older snapshots manually then delete the associated Velero snapshots.

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.
