Virus Scanning DSSU's.

So the security group in my company started scanning our DSSU's. What effect will this have on duplication? The DSSU's already run slow..

 

I found out about this today in an email informing me of a infected file, found, and removed from ther DSSU, unfortunatly this was a backup image. *sigh*

 

Ok, so I have a bunch of *.img, *.info files on the DSSU which were related to this same backup, how do I properly remove these files? Here is what I tried..

 

C:\DOCUME~1\CMFSHA~1>bpexpdate -backupid 619529 -d 0 -client servername
Are you SURE you want to delete 619529 y/n (n)? y
an invalid entry was encountered

 

Thanks,

    I would suggest that you do not have AV running on your master/media servers - rather secure your machine and don't have anything that could introduce a virus onto these machines running.  If you do need to run AV, exclude the DSSU drives.  Rather have AV running on your client servers that are being backed up.

    Check out http://entsupport.symantec.com/docs/303943.  This would probably be a good enough reason to disable scanning on your DSSU's.

    Cheers
