๐Ÿ’ก The Challenge:
Removing a backup proxy in Veeam Backup & Replication across a lot of backup jobs can be pretty annoying and time-consuming.

๐Ÿš€ The Solution:
That's why I wanted to share a short PowerShell script that automates this task for you!
I personally use it whenever I decommission a backup repository in large, shared Veeam environments - it's a real time-saver.

โš ๏ธ Right now, this script is built for the Windows-based Veeam version (12 & 13).
A version for the Linux-based appliance is on my roadmap, so stay tuned!

๐Ÿ‘‰ You can grab the script here: ๐Ÿ”— https://github.com/fabpapde/community/blob/main/veeam/veeam-backup-proxy-remove-v1_0.ps1
