SEP Client affecting Backup Speeds

Mark_Hoxley

Hi,
I have posted a query here but the solutions did not fix my issue.

I have now noticed that the speed of the backups has been getting worse since the day that I installed Symantec Endpoint Protection.
I wondered if there are any known issues with SEP and BE 12.5d ?

Are there any settings I should amend on the client to improve performance, or is it just chance that these two events coincided ?

Ii your the real time access scanner (in SEP) enabled at the time of the backup as anything taht might slow down disk access speed will affect backup performance - particularly if there are logs of files in a folder/volume that SEP decides to scan just because Backup Exec processes try to access them.
