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.

    I spoke with Support and they told me to just have the Backup software run a "net stop" and "net start" script to stop/start the Sophos Antivirus service on the server.  That will turn off On Access scanning during a backup and then turn it back on afterwards.  Much easier then messing around with the registery or performing the other actions.  I guess you run into the possibility of it not getting turned back on correctly but the same thing can happen with the on-access scanning.

    We use Commvault for our backup solution which includes the ability to run scripts before/after backups.  So far it seems to be working fine and makes our backup MUCH faster!
