Overview

If you are an administrator, you can delete an instance of backup proxy. After a delete operation, backup proxy loses the persistent connection with Druva Cloud.

​ You can delete a backup proxy only after 7 days of the deletion of the last virtual machine mapped to its backup proxy pool.


Procedure

  1. Log in to the Management Console.

  2. From the top menu bar, select your organization if organizations are enabled.

  5. In the left pane, click Backup Proxies.

  6. To delete backup proxies across pools, select the backup proxy(s) you want to delete.
