Disable on access scan during network backup?

Avatare69

Sorry if this has been covered, search did not produce any results...

My nightly backups (Backup Exec 12.5) (CIO demands FULL every night) anyway..   My backups are taking too long when backing up my file server, during the backup, files are getting scanned via on-access scanning.

Any way to disable on access scan during backup, then re-enable after?   In the past we've used Trend, and had a pre/post job batch file that would run that would do this.

Thanks for any help.

    We also have a similar issue using CommVault, the backups were taking an age to complete with the on-read option set in the AV policy. 

    We have had to created a new policy for file servers that uses the on-write option, I know this is potentially less secure but with increased scheduled scans it seems to do the trick.

    The only other thing I could do is look at changing the policy each night while the backup runs.  This isnt really an option as it relies on someone remebering and actually changing the policy.

    I imagine that there are more people with the same issue so I would be interrested to know how others are working around this issue.
