About NetBackup client software removal on UNIX and Linux systems

Use the following guidelines when you remove NetBackup from UNIX/Linux clients:

When you remove NetBackup client software, PBX is not removed. You must remove PBX manually. The client software removal procedure in this document includes a step that describes how to perform this task.

As part of the removal of the NetBackup client 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.

Warning:

Do not remove PBX if your client uses other Veritas software products that require PBX to run.
