Hello.
Does anyone know whether scans by Sophos Anti-Virus (V7.6.7 on W2K3 R2 EE 64-bit) can interfere with incremental backups? We're finding that incro backups for a system with SAV on it are picking up much more than they should, dozens of GB more in fact, and this is killing the WAN used for those backups.
Some AV products have a switch or registry setting which effectively says "Sure, go ahead and do your scans, but DON'T change any file attributes or dates". This then returns incro backups to normal.
Anyone know if SAV has such a setting and where I can look to see if this is why our incro backups are so big?
Thanx!
