Remove BeamDisk

Removing BeamDisk from a Mac leaves your disks and their data on the server, where another Mac can use them.

  1. If Time Machine backs up to a BeamDisk disk, open System Settings → General → Time Machine and remove that disk from the backup disks.
  2. If BeamDisk’s Time Machine profile is installed, open System Settings → General → Device Management, select BeamDisk: Time Machine support and remove it. macOS asks for an administrator’s password.
  3. In BeamDisk’s window, eject each disk and choose Remove… from its Options menu. This also deletes its CHAP secret from your Keychain.
  4. Choose Disconnect All and Quit from the quick menu.
  5. Delete BeamDisk from the Applications folder.

You don’t need to remove BeamDisk to move a disk: remove the disk on one Mac, then add it on the other. See One Mac per disk.
