Removing Appliances
Microsoft Azure Plug-in for Veeam Backup & Replication allows you to permanently remove Veeam Backup for Microsoft Azure appliances from the backup infrastructure.
Note |
After you remove a Veeam Backup for Microsoft Azure appliance, the following limitations will apply:
Also, the restore process will start taking more time to complete causing data transfer costs to increase as Veeam Backup & Replication will not be able to use native Microsoft Azure capabilities and will have to process more data. |
To remove a Veeam Backup for Microsoft Azure appliance, do the following:
- In the Veeam Backup & Replication console, open the Backup Infrastructure view.
- Navigate to Managed Servers.
- Select the necessary Veeam Backup for Microsoft Azure appliance and click Remove Appliance on the ribbon.
Alternatively, right-click the appliance and select Remove.
- In the Veeam Backup & Replication window, click Yes to acknowledge the operation.
Tip |
If you want to remove an appliance from both the backup and the Microsoft Azure environment, select the Delete cloud resources associated with the backup appliance? check box in the opened window. Veeam Backup & Replication will remove all resources associated with this appliance in Microsoft Azure. However, if an appliance has been deployed from the Microsoft Azure Marketplace or is running Veeam Backup for Microsoft Azure version 2.x (or earlier), to remove resources from the Microsoft Azure environment, you must follow the instructions provided in the Veeam Backup for Microsoft Azure User Guide, section Uninstalling Veeam Backup for Microsoft Azure. |
Note |
If the selected appliance has been deployed from the Veeam Backup & Replication console and Veeam Backup & Replication uses a newly created key pair to authenticate against the Veeam Backup for Microsoft Azure appliance, you must remove the key pair from the resource group that holds resources related to the appliance. |
