Introduction
To uninstall the product from Linux automatically, launch the following script:
#/usr/lib/Acronis/BackupAndRecovery/uninstall/uninstall
If the script does not work for some reason, uninstall the product manually as described below.
Solution
- Delete Acronis Secure Zone, if present. See Removing Acronis Secure Zone;
- Remove all modules from dkms. For example:
# dkms status
snapapi26, 0.7.46, 2.6.9-1.667, i686: installed
# dkms remove -m snapapi26 -v 0.7.46 –all(!) If you are running 2.4 kernel, the module name will be snapapi, not snapapi26
- Remove all Acronis RPMs (ignore all messages about the non-presence of packages):
# rpm -e –allmatches –nodeps AcronisAgentLinux
# rpm -e –allmatches –nodeps acronis-glibc
# rpm -e –allmatches –nodeps dkms
# rpm -e –allmatches –nodeps BackupAndRecoveryAgent
# rpm -e –allmatches –nodeps snapapi26_modules
# rpm -e –allmatches –nodeps BackupAndRecoveryBootableComponents
# rpm -e –allmatches –nodeps AcronisUpgradeTool
# rpm -e –allmatches –nodeps ManagementConsole(!) On 2.4 kernels use snapapi_modules instead of snapapi26_modules
- Remove all files and folders related to Acronis software:
# rm -Rf /etc/Acronis
# rm -Rf /var/lib/Acronis
# rm -Rf /usr/lib/Acronis
# rm -Rf ~/.Acronis
# rm -Rf /usr/src/snapapi*
