# Remove Backup Role From Cluster

WARNING

We do not recommend removing the Backup role from a cluster however, if it essential this is the recommended method.

It is possible to manually remove the Backup role from a server in your cluster.

To do this, ssh to root on the control panel server and run:

su - orchd
psql
delete from website_backup_servers;

Then on every server which has the Application role, make a backup of /var/local/enhance/appcd, edit /var/local/enhance/appcd/*/website.json and set backup_targets to [] for each json file.

WARNING

Be very careful when editing, a syntax error might break your panel.

Lastly run:

systemctl restart appcd
