SEP halves my backup speed (and doubles the time it takes to perform a backup)

[troy_lea]

I have Backup Exec 12.0 rev 1364 and SEP 11.0.2000.1567.

When I try and backup a remote server that has SEP installed my backup speed is halved (and the time it takes to backup the server doubles).
See results:

Without SEP installed
Backed up 107943 files in 8039 directories.
Processed 43,950,547,309 bytes in 14 minutes and 35 seconds.
Throughput rate: 2874 MB/min
Compression Type: Hardware

With SEP installed
Backed up 107943 files in 8039 directories.
Processed 43,950,547,309 bytes in 31 minutes and 18 seconds.
Throughput rate: 1339 MB/min
Compression Type: Hardware


How do I configure SEP not to virus scan any files that BUE is accessing when doing a backup?

Thanks

I did the work around and now I'm getting:

With SEP installed after following Document ID: 306552
Backed up 108131 files in 8062 directories.
Processed 44,008,393,386 bytes in 19 minutes and 51 seconds.

The following, temporary solution, will still work until Symantec Endpoint Protection MR4 has been installed:

1. Exclude the following processes from within Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager (Firewall Policy | Rules | Add a rule to allow an application):
(Change C:\ as needed depending on which root volume the Media Server or Remote Agent is installed to)
• C:\Program Files\Symantec\Backup Exec\beremote.exe
• C:\Program Files\Symantec\Backup Exec\beserver.exe
• C:\Program Files\Symantec\Backup Exec\bengine.exe
• C:\Program Files\Symantec\Backup Exec\benetns.exe
• C:\Program Files\Symantec\Backup Exec\pvlsvr.exe
• C:\Program Files\Symantec\Backup Exec\BkUpexec.exe
C:\Program Files\Symantec\Backup Exec\RAWS\beremote.exe


2. Change the following File System Auto-Protect setting in Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager for each profile where an associated client has the Remote Agent for Windows Servers installed (Policies Tab | Antivirus & AntiSpyware | Right Click | Edit | File System Auto-Protect | Advanced Scanning and Monitoring):
• Change "Scan when a file is accessed or modified" to "Scan when a file is modified"
Uncheck "Scan when a file is backed up"
