Preparing to uninstall NetBackup Snapshot Manager

Note the following before you uninstall NetBackup Snapshot Manager:

  • Ensure that there are no active NetBackup 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 NetBackup Snapshot Manager agents that are installed on the application hosts. The application hosts are the systems where the applications that are being protected by NetBackup Snapshot Manager are running.

    See Removing the NetBackup Snapshot Manager agents.

  • Ensure that you disable the NetBackup Snapshot Manager server from NetBackup. You can disable NetBackup Snapshot Manager server from the NetBackup Web UI .

  • 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 NetBackup 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 NetBackup Snapshot Manager.
