4 Deleting a Backup account

What happens when you delete a Backup account

Deleting a Backup account disables the associated Cloud Backup service and permanently deletes the stored backup data. Once the Backup account has been deleted:
  • you will no longer be able to access the service management consoles (Commvault or EVault);
  • the servers you configured will no longer be protected by the backup service;
  • you will no longer be able to perform backup or restore operations;
  • all stored backup data will be permanently deleted.
Once the Backup account deletion is complete, the deleted data cannot be recovered.
