Ensure that there are no active Snapshot Manager operations in progress. For example, if there are any snapshot, replication, restore or indexing jobs running, wait for them to complete.

If you have configured policies, ensure that you stop the scheduled policy runs. You may even want to delete those policies.

Ensure that you remove the Snapshot Manager agents that are installed on the application hosts. The application hosts are the systems where the applications that are being protected by Snapshot Manager are running.

See Removing the Snapshot Manager agents.

Ensure that you disable the Snapshot Manager server from NetBackup. Depending on how you have set up your Snapshot Manager server, whether on-premise or in the cloud, you can disable Snapshot Manager server from the NetBackup Web UI .

Refer to the NetBackup Snapshot Manager for Data Center Administrator's Guide for instructions.

All the snapshot data and configuration data from your existing installation is maintained in the external /cloudpoint data volume. This information is external to the Snapshot Manager containers and images and is deleted after the uninstallation.

You can take a backup of all the data in the /cloudpoint volume, if desired.

See Backing up Snapshot Manager.
