[ESET Endpoint Security 7 BETA signup]

Hi Peter,

Please sign us up when possible.

[BETA 2017]

Known Issues

 

• Windows 10: only build 10074 is supported 

 

This is surely not the case?? That build came out 12 months ago and was a pre-release beta from 3 months before the public release build (10240), not to mention the current public release build from November (10586). 

[Backup slowed down - EFS6]

Update, in case someone has some new ideas:

 

So far I have corrected the exclusions, which were incorrect: from C:\Program Files\Symantec\Backup Exec\ to C:\Program Files\Symantec\Backup Exec\*.*

This didn't make any difference

 

I have also tried: C:\Program Files\Symantec\Backup Exec\*

Same result

 

I have added all the Backup exe programs manually: C:\Program Files\Symantec\Backup Exec\beremote.exe , C:\Program Files\Symantec\Backup Exec\beserver.exe , etc...

This didn't make any difference either

 

The only thing that still makes a difference is by disabling the Scan on File Open

 

Any thoughts?

 

I'm assuming the slowdown is caused by Eset scanning each and every file that is "opened" by Backup Exec as it is backing them up, which is why excluding the Backup Exec processes/folders isn't making a difference. Weird though as i would have thought Backup Exec was just copying the files, which i wouldn't have thought counted as opening them.

 

Have you tried excluding the backup destination in case it is scanning files as they get created there?

 

Also is it perhaps possible to use Eshell (as someone suggested in the other thread) to somehow disable "Scan on File Open" and then scheduling it to toggle off for the backup?
