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.

    There might be another way to do this, which would ensure less time with minimal settings and more automated.

    This is what i would try:

    Create a script to change the settings before and re-enable them afterwards

    (I agree with QC, disabling is a worst case scenario plan)

    You can configure Sophos AV settings via a file.

    To get the configs in a file -
    Export policy using exportconfig.exe (in Enterprise Console foler in Program Files\Sophos) then running configcid.exe

    (http://www.sophos.com/support/knowledgebase/article/13111.html)

    So you would need two savconf.xml.

    savconf A - the during the day config

    savconf B - during the backup config

    You can the create a script to change then when need.

    before script, move savconf B to update location, run configcid, restart services

    after script, move savconf A to update location, run configcid, restart services.

    more automated, more secure than disabling. Its a possible optoin.

    If someone could confirm if it would take the settings immediately or if somehting needs to be restart for the new configs to take effect. not 100% sure on that.
