Other than backup software and two hyper-V nothing running here.

If I uninstall Veeam ..... and SQL ...., will it effect to two servers running with Hyper-V .

Answer 1

Hi,

According to your description, they seem to be Veeam components, third-party components won't affect Windows Hyper V, while it's recommended to consult Veeam on how to uninstall them properly.

For Windows SQL services, it's recommended to turn to the SQL forum about how to uninstall them or shrink the database properly:

Thanks for your time!
