Uninstalling the Continuous Protection Server

Uninstalling Continuous Protection Server removes all components that were installed as part of the Complete installation. These components include the Administration Console, Continuous Management Service, and Continuous Protection Agents.

Symantec LiveUpdate is uninstalled automatically if you do not have other Symantec products installed that use this technology. The Remote Agent and .NET Framework 2.0 are not removed. If we do not need these tools for other applications, you can uninstall them manually.

  6. A message prompts you to verify that you want to remove all data associated with Backup Exec Continuous Protection Server, which includes Continuous Management Service or Continuous Protection Agent databases, data stored within backup destinations, and the local data cache. Backup Exec Retrieve must be uninstalled separately.

    Click Yes to all removal of all data, or click No to remove the data manually after the uninstallation process has completed.
