AV excludes for Veeam installation path

[karsten123]

Hi,

according to kb1999 you should exclude C:\Program Files\Veeam\.
But if you installed Veeam to E:\ for example, is it E:\Program Files\Veeam\ then?
Are there any other excludes that should be altered?

Hi Karsten,

Yes, if you set a different installation path by some means, you will need to whitelist those as well so the binaries are excluded from the AV scans.

I would review the %temp% locations shown in the KB article and just ensure that those did not get redirected/changed either, but else the rest should be as you write and as per the KB.

Thanks.

Hi David,

thanks a lot.
Personally i am not a big fan of doing that, but in this case, it is a customer policy.

Have a nice weekend.
