  2. In the inventory pane, select Jobs.
  3. In the working area, select the application backup policy and click Disable on the ribbon or right-click the policy and select Disable.
  4. Wait for Veeam Backup & Replication to disable the policy, then select it and click Delete from Disk on the ribbon or right-click the policy and select Delete from disk.
