Advise on how to uninstall Backup Exec 15 manually
- 9 years ago
Issue resolved. Let me start by saying that if you have a service contract, by all means call support and have them help you through this process. I am sure, with their help and guidance, the process would have been a lot less painful than it was for me.
I started by backing up my reigstry. I then searched through the registry for the following keywords: Backup Exec, Backupexec, Bkupexe, and 14.2.1180 and deleted any key that had an entry with one of those keywords. This is an extremely lenghtly process.
I deleted the c:ProgramData\Symantec\Backup Exec folder.
I searched the hard drive for the same keywords as above and deleted any files that matched. I emptied the trash can and rebooted the server and was finally able to do a clean re-install of Backup Exec 15.
