Veritas NetBackup™ CloudPoint Install and Upgrade Guide

Preparing to uninstall CloudPoint

Note the following before you uninstall CloudPoint:

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

    See Removing the CloudPoint agents.

  • Ensure that you disable the CloudPoint server from NetBackup. Depending on how you have set up your CloudPoint server, whether on-premise or in the cloud, you can disable CloudPoint server either from the NetBackup Web UI or from the NetBackup Administration console (Java UI).

    Refer to the NetBackup Web UI Backup Administrator's Guide or the NetBackup Snapshot Client 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 CloudPoint 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 CloudPoint.
