Uninstalling Veeam Agent NOTE

Consider the following:

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.
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.
