Hello,
You should be able to remove Backup Exec from Add/Remove Programs.
However, in case you have problems there, here is a tech note on performing a manual uninstall:
How to manually uninstall Backup Exec 11d for Windows Servers
http://support.veritas.com/docs/287320
We’ve been having issues with our web site today. I’ve been told that if you flushed your dns cache that should be able to access the web site.
If not, here are the instructions:
There are two methods to manually remove Backup Exec 11d:
Method 1
1. Run the Windows Installer Cleanup Utility to remove Symantec Backup Exec 11d for Windows Servers.
The Windows Installer Cleanup Utility can be found at the following URL: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;290301
After removing Backup Exec via the Windows Installer Cleanup Utility:
· Backup Exec will still appear in Add/Remove Programs
· All Backup Exec services will still be present
· Backup Exec may still be operational
2. Reinstall Backup Exec 11 with same settings as the previous installation.
This process will replace any missing or corrupted files and registry keys and a complete re-configuration.
When prompted to select a BEDB database server select the same option as the prior installation.
3. Uninstall Backup Exec 11 through Add/Remove Programs.
Method 2 (use if Method 1 is unsuccessful)
1. Run the Windows Installer Cleanup Utility to remove Symantec Backup Exec for Windows Servers 11
2. Stop all Backup Exec services, SQL Server (BKUPEXEC), MSSQL$BKUPEXEC, and MSSQL$BKUPEXECDLO services
3. Remove the following Backup Exec registry keys:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Symantec\Backup Exec for Windows
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Symantec\DLO
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Symantec\CRF
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Symantec\VxPush
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\Symantec Backup Exec 11.0

4. If using a SQL instance other than the BKUPEXEC instance:
Detach BEDB database. Refer to SQL documentation on how to detach a database from a SQL instance.
Delete BEDB files bedb_dat.mdf and bedb_log.ldf from SQL instance data and log folders.
5. Remove all Backup Exec files from install directories (Note: %SystemRoot% is typically C:\Windows)

Backup Exec Drivers located in %SystemRoot%\System32\Drivers
· *.VSD (all files with a .vsd extension)
· SCSICHNG.INF
· SCSICHNG.SYS

6. Remove SQL Express BKUPEXEC and BKUPEXECDLO instances through Add/Remove Programs.
