Uninstalling Veeam Agent and Other Veeam Components

You can remove Veeam Agent and the following Veeam components installed on a protected computer as one operation:

• Veeam Plug-ins
• [For Microsoft Windows computers] Veeam Installer Service
• [For Linux computers] Veeam Deployer Service

• [For Microsoft Windows and Linux computers] Veeam Transport Service
• [For Microsoft Windows computers] Veeam CBT driver

Before you start the uninstall process, consider the following:

• [For Microsoft Windows and Linux computers] Veeam Installer Service, Veeam Deployer Service and Veeam Transport Service are not removed from the Veeam Agent computer if the computer is added to the Veeam backup infrastructure as a managed server. To learn more, see the Virtualization Servers and Hosts section in the Veeam Backup & Replication User Guide.
• [For Linux computers] Veeam Deployer Service is not removed if Veeam Backup & Replication connects to the protected computer with single-use credentials. To learn more, see Creating Veeam Agent Backup Jobs.

• If automatic installation of Veeam Agent is enabled in the protection group settings, after you remove Veeam Agent from a selected computer, Veeam Backup & Replication will install Veeam Agent on this computer during the next rescan job session started by schedule. To learn more, see Creating Protection Groups.

• You can uninstall Veeam Agent, Veeam Plug-ins and Veeam components on a computer added to a protection group for pre-installed Veeam Agents only from the Veeam Agent computer side. To learn more about protection groups for pre-installed Veeam Agents, see Protection Group Types.

• If you uninstall Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows added to the protection group for pre-installed Veeam Agents and then re-install on the same computer, Veeam Agent will not connect to Veeam backup server automatically. To connect Veeam Agent, you must repeat the configuration step of the Veeam Agent deployment scenario. To learn more, see Deploying Veeam Agents Using Generated Setup Files.

• Prerequisite components installed and used by Veeam Agent are not removed during the uninstall process. You can remove the remaining components from the side of the computer from which you uninstalled Veeam Agent.
