Preparing to uninstall NetBackup Snapshot Manager for Data Center

Note the following before you uninstall NetBackup Snapshot Manager for Data Center:

  • Ensure that there are no active NetBackup Snapshot Manager for Data Center 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 disable the NetBackup Snapshot Manager for Data Center server from NetBackup. Depending on how you have set up your NetBackup Snapshot Manager for Data Center server, you can disable the NetBackup Snapshot Manager for Data Center 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 for Data Center containers and images and is deleted after the uninstallation.

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