Removing Backup Policy

You can permanently remove a Veeam Agent backup policy from Veeam Backup & Replication. When you remove a backup policy, Veeam Backup & Replication also removes child backup jobs configured on Veeam Agent computers. Backups created by these jobs remain on the target location.

NOTE

[For computers with pre-installed Veeam Agents] The child jobs will continue running till the next synchronization with Veeam Backup & Replication.
