Uninstalling Veeam Backup & Replication on Microsoft Windows

To uninstall Veeam Backup & Replication:

  1. From the Start menu, select Control Panel > Programs > Programs and Features.
  2. In the programs list, right-click Veeam Backup & Replication and select Uninstall. If you have Veeam Backup Enterprise Manager installed on this machine, Veeam Backup & Replication will uninstall both components. Wait for the process to complete.
  3. If the program list contains additional Veeam Backup & Replication components, right-click the remaining components and select Uninstall.

The Veeam Backup & Replication configuration database is not removed during the uninstall process. All configuration data stored in the database remains as well.

Note

The uninstall process does not remove PostgreSQL or other prerequisite components installed alongside Veeam Backup & Replication. Remove them manually from Programs and Features if you no longer need them.

If you plan to reinstall Veeam Backup & Replication and keep your existing jobs, repositories, and settings, see Migrating VBR to Another Windows-Based Backup Server instead of uninstalling first.
