Slow backups since 9.5 installed

alexhulse

Hi there

I've installed 9.5 over the Christmas period, and our backups are now running much more slowly, despite us still issuing a net stop savservice before running the backup.

The Sophos logs appear to show that the on-access scanning is re-starting itself during the backup window - I've read this could be to do with the automatic update.

How can I stop Sophos re-starting on-access scanning until it is clear to do so by the backup application?

Thanks

Alex

    Hi jak

    Thanks for the reply. I'd had a look at that thread, and I appreciate the suggestions, but I'm afraid they don't work for us.

    The servers in question are large fileservers with many small files on, and so the i/o isn't the fastest for backup at the best of times, and having Sophos interfere made things even slower. We like to do a full backup here, and the suspension of Sophos worked for us previously.

    I understand your concern about disabling Sophos, but this aside, is anyone aware of how Sophos 9.5 can be made to behave like 7.5 did during updates whilst disabled?

    Thanks
