Re: [Veritas-bu] McaFee Anti-Virus exclusions for NBU 6.5.1

Same here ! EPo is ok-ish .... However, it has to be setup
correctly. One thing I found is that an Exchange box was taking far, far too
long and it was EPO policy not defined correctly to exclude the logs, and
DB's!
Since then, it flies. But as a troubleshooting method, I
have to say that a temporary shutdown of the Services will prove if there is a
possible "lag" with the AV running. Its a starter point.

Folks,
For
what it’s worth McAfee is versatile enough to get around most of this. What we
do is exclude the nbu folders on the master/media servers. On all the clients
there is an advanced setting to not scan files being backed up. So nothing is
scanned by the backup. I don’t care about that since we have schedules/settings
that scan the servers so there is no need to scan again. We have enough
windows servers that we went McAfee ePO so we can set everything
centrally.

Sort of
disagree, because I have it scripted to stop the service and restart after. And
worse case, you can use schedule task to shutdown the service during the backup
and restart say 12 hours later.
All it
does is help prove where the problem may lie in this case for the
originator.
Also,
Symantec when troubleshooting backups always (always!) insist that AV is turned
off during a backup.

There's simply no good way to do that. With
multi-threaded backups and weird and wonderful ways of NetBackup to fail, you
can't guarantee that the service will be restarted again.
That is also complicated, of course, by the fact that you'd
have no virus protection while backups are running. You want to ensure
that the backup process itself isn't impacted by the scanning, but you don't
want to turn scanning off (alternatively, shut down the file serving
instead!).
