and the folders that contain
VBRCatalog

do i forget some?
thank you,
Carlo
P.S.
that's why when i start a SureBackup job after some minutes i have a BSOD

Re: Antivirus Settings
Hi, what about the place where actual backup files are stored?

[MERGED] AntiVirus on Veeam Backup Server/Proxy/Repository
Hi,
I'm wondering if anyone has antivirus running on their Veeam Backup Server, and if so, what exclusions you've needed to make.
I'm thinking that the Catalog directory may be good to exclude from read monitoring, and probably exclude the repository directory.

Re: Antivirus Settings
No antivirus in any Veeam installation I did.
Too many files/ram/cache/data moving around during backups, I do not really want some antivirus to go nuts one day and block or corrupt my backups...

Apparently no other considerations except the outlined above.

Re: Antivirus Settings

Maybe C:\ProgramData\Veeam?

Re: Antivirus Settings
Most importantly, actual backup files and Veeam installation folder.

Re: Antivirus Settings
I can tell you what we do for our environment. We use Trend Micro AV and we have the OfficeScan client deployed to our Veeam Backup server. Inside the Trend Micro AV management console (installed on a separate Windows server), we have grouped any backup-software-related Windows servers together in a folder called "Backups" and ensured that the Veeam backup server is in that group. We then applied the following AV real-time scan exclusions to servers in that group:
(a) exclude any disk which stores backup-related data files (so anything which is a Target for a backup job); AND
(b) exclude files with suffix: .VBK .VIB .VMDK and .VRB
That seems to work really well for us, including the running of SureBackup jobs.
