Kromine - We currently have these settings in place, 'Network' and 'scan when a file is backed up' are both unchecked. Also we have the option 'Scan when a file is modified.' checked.
AravindKM - The sole purpose of this server is an overnight backup
Our Current Working Solution (as advised in Forum)
Currently we have setup the 'symantec antivirus' service to stop before backup and start after backup through a scheduled task. This is working and the backup is finishing at the normal time.
Concerns
We have spoken to Symantec support and they have said that it is not advised to turn off auto protect. I understand that they would say this as it is part of there antivirus software package.
But can anyone tell me if they too have had this problem, the support have said it is the first reported incident?
If so is there another way of overcoming it?
Is it standard practice to turn off antivirus or a part of AntiVirus on a Backup Server?
Any response would be appreciated. Thanks for all previous replies.
