Uninstalling the Avamar Plug-in for Oracle on Linux

You can uninstall the Avamar Plug-in for Oracle from a Linux system by using the rpm -e command.

About this task

When you uninstall the Avamar Plug-in for Oracle and the Avamar Client for Linux from the host system, scheduled backups no longer occur for the client. You cannot restore backups to the client after you uninstall the software.

You can retire or delete a client either before or after you uninstall the Avamar Plug-in for Oracle:

  • To keep the backups for the client so that you can restore the backups to a different client, retire the client by using Avamar Administrator.
  • To delete the backups for the client, delete the client by using Avamar Administrator.

The Avamar Administration Guide provides more information.
