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.

Note: 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. 
  3. Click Protect > VMware. The All Virtual Machines page appears that lists all the registered vCenter/hypervisors. 
  4. You can either select the registered vCenter/ESXi host from the card view or list view or select it from the vCenter/ESXi host list in the left navigation pane.
  5. In the left pane, click Backup Proxies
  6. To delete backup proxies across pools, select the backup proxy(s) you want to delete. 
    • Click the more options button and click Delete
