About NetBackup server software removal on Linux systems

NetBackup removal procedures remove NetBackup completely, along with any installed add-on products. Each procedure gives you the opportunity to save any data that you want and to remove add-on products before you remove NetBackup.

Veritas recommends that you use the following order when you remove NetBackup server software:

  • Save any data that you require.

    This task is very important if you plan to reinstall NetBackup at a later date.

  • Remove any add-on products before you remove NetBackup server software.

  • Remove the NetBackup server software.

    Note:

    As part of the removal of the NetBackup server software, the security certificates are automatically deleted. If you want to retain the certificates, please save them before removing NetBackup.

    More information about this topic is available. Please refer to the information on retaining host ID-based certificates when reinstalling NetBackup in the NetBackup Security and Encryption Guide.

See Removing NetBackup from UNIX and Linux servers and clients.
