Uninstalling Veeam Plug-in and Other Veeam Components
You can uninstall all Veeam Plug-ins and the following Veeam product components installed on a protected computer as one operation:
- Veeam Agents
- [For Microsoft Windows computers] Veeam Installer Service
- [For Linux computers] Veeam Deployer Service
- [For Microsoft Windows and Linux computers] Veeam Transport Service
This approach is helpful if Veeam Plug-ins are installed on the protected computer, and you do not want to uninstall all products and product components individually.
Tip |
|
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 computer with Veeam Plug-in 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.
- If automatic installation of Veeam Plug-in is enabled in the protection group settings, after you remove Veeam Plug-in from a selected computer, Veeam Backup & Replication will install Veeam Plug-in on this computer during the next rescan job session started by schedule. For details, see Creating Protection Groups.
Note |
[For Microsoft Windows and Linux computers] If automatic installation of Veeam Plug-in is not enabled in the protection group settings, Veeam Backup & Replication will not install Veeam Plug-in during the next rescan job session started by schedule but will install the Veeam Installer Service or Veeam Deployer Service and Veeam Transport Service on the computer. |
- Prerequisite components installed and used by Veeam Plug-in are not removed during the uninstall process. To remove the remaining components, use the built-in tools directly on this computer (for example, Microsoft Windows Control Panel on the Microsoft Windows computer).

- In the inventory pane, expand the Physical Infrastructure node and select the necessary protection group.
