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.

    How much longer does it take with on-access scanning?

    BTW: Do you (Avatare69 and SyrianHamster) disable access to the server during backups? Just asking 'cause I wouldn't feel comfortable doing so if otherwise I see the need having it turned on.

    On some servers we have the data volumes excluded from on-access scanning - the clients have on-access scanning turned on (remote files are not excluded). This might be an option.

    A rather crude method to turn off scanning during backups would be stopping the Sophos Anti-Virus (SavService.exe) and the Sophos AutoUpdate Service (ALsvc.exe) the latter because an update could restart SavService.
