Thanks Peter for the detailed help.
Actually there was an unins000.exe binary in the same folder you pointed me to, where sqbcoreservice.exe lives; I just ran that uninstaller binary and it uninstalled everything. The service and binaries are now gone, as are the xp's.
Cheers,

Problems removing server components from multiple instances
Contrary to the instructions provided in this post, I am having trouble removing SQLBackup server components from multiple SQL Server 2000 instances on the same machine.
What happens is I saw only ...
Thanks Neil - that worked a treat.

Small but slightly scary bug when refreshing database list.
How it happens:
I browse my list of databases in Backup 4.1
I detach one of the databases but don't refresh my list.
I select the detached database (which no longer exists) and hit Refresh.
The vie...
Urgently need uninstall the extended SP etc from Servers
My colleagues are mad at me for installing Red Gate Backup 4.1 server components onto some of their production SQL Servers and I need to uninstall it PDQ. I've checked the menus and documentation, ...
OK makes sense - many thanks for the explanation. Maybe one day the Backup client could have an option to retrieve the full list of "select distinct database from backupsets" sort of thing. / comments

Feature requests - SQL Backup 4.x and Log Rescue 1.x
On the basis of my other postsabout restoring detached databases from non-local files, and other things, here are my feature requests for Red Gate SQL products:
1. Restore - Browse Files to be able...
Aha. In the Add input field, I can enter a full UNC spec that is valid from the Server, NOT from the Client. I guess this makes sense. Of course, since the restore job runs on the server machine, the path and drive letter etc must be as seen from the server machine.
In fact it would be difficult for you guys to program a UNC browser in the client that runs from the Server machine's context.
Maybe you could put a helpful hint on the screen there, especially if the RG Client detects it is not running on the target server, to say that the path must be as seen from the context of the target SQL Server machine.
Sorry I probably didn't make it clear I was running the RGBackup Client on the NAS machine where the backup files live, which is not an SQL Server machine.
Also to answer my question about restoring detached databases:
I can see that in step 3 of Restore (once I've actually got a path to a valid .SQB file!!!), as well as a drop down of attached databases, I can manually enter a database name. I can also specify database file locations ("WITH MOVE") and Foce ("REPLACE") if necessary. / comments

Restore detached databases, & files not local to a SQLServer
I'm trying to restore a database that has been detached. Since it's detached I can't browse to the backup in the history browser (a silly limitation if you ask me but I guess that's Microsoft not R...
