I'm doing that as we speak actually....realized that was the one thing I hadn't removed yet. Just removing the DPM agent didn't do anything for me. So, while the DPM agent is uninstalled I am removing the feature, rebooting, and then will reinstall the backup feature. I'll let ya know if I have any luck.
