I have a user that has noticed that when his TSM backup starts his machine
locks up until the backup is complete due to Virus scan Access-scan,  which
apparently goes whenever files are accessed.

He has a Window's XP machine with VirusScan Enterprise 7.1. He has TSM
5.1.6.0 client code.

Does anyone know of an issue with TSM 5.1.6 and VirusScan?


 

Virus scanners are infamous for interfering with legitimate file access (such 
as backups/restores).
 
Your best bet is to turn the virus scanner off during the duration of the 
backup. This can be done by scripting the backup process, or by establishing 
preschedcmd and postschedcmd parameters for the backup.
