Uninstalling Plug-In

Before you uninstall Microsoft Azure Plug-in for Veeam Backup & Replication, it is recommended to remove all connected backup appliances from the backup infrastructure. If you keep the appliances in the backup infrastructure, the following will happen:

• You will be able to see information on snapshots of Azure VMs and file shares in the Veeam Backup & Replication console. However, you will not be able to perform any operations with these snapshots.

• You will be able to see information on backups of Azure SQL databases. However, you will not be able to perform any operations with these backups.
• You will be able to see information on image-level backups of Azure VMs and perform data recovery operations using these backups. However, restore of entire VMs to Microsoft Azure will start working as described in the Veeam Backup & Replication User Guide, section How Restore to Microsoft Azure Works.

• You will be able to see information on backup policies. However, you will only be able to remove these policies from the Veeam Backup & Replication console.
