Removing Protection Group

When you remove a protection group, you can instruct Veeam Backup & Replication to remove backup components from all servers included in this protection group. The protection group is removed permanently. You cannot undo this operation.

Backups created for servers that were included in the removed protection group remain intact in the backup location. You can delete this backup data manually later if needed.

NOTE

Consider the following:

You cannot remove a protection group if it is added to an application backup policy.
You cannot remove default protection groups, such as Unmanaged, Out of Date and so on.

To remove a protection group:

Open the Inventory view.
In the inventory pane, in the Physical and Cloud Infrastructure node, select the InterSystems IRIS protection group you want to remove and do one of the following:

Click Remove Group on the ribbon.
Right-click the protection group and select Remove.

If you want to remove backup components from the protected servers, in the displayed window, select the Uninstall Everything check box. With this option selected, Veeam Backup & Replication will remove the protection group from the configuration database and, in addition, uninstall the InterSystems IRIS plug-in, the Veeam Transport Service, and the Veeam Deployer Service from every server in the removed protection group.
In the displayed window, click Yes.

TIP

If you want to remove a certain server from the protection group, you must exclude it from the backup scope in the protection group settings. For details, see Specify ODB Servers.
