I Appreciate the response, however...=0A=0A =

=0A=0AThe recent VSP threads caused me to pose the following question:=0A=
=0A =
=0A=0AIf VSP writes it's cache file during the backup process, & McAfee is=
=0Aconfigured for on-access scanning, wouldn't there be excessive disk (&=
=0Apotentially NIC) I/O as McAfee scans the constantly updated cache file?=
=0AThis could explain some poor throughput stats we're seeing.=0A=0A =
=0A=0ADoes VSP consistently use the same filename or directory for it's cach=
e=0Afile? If not, is it configurable to the point you could designate a=0Ata=
rget directory for the cache file?=0A=0A =
=0A=0AMy thought is that if the above scenario actually does exist, McAfee=
=0Amight need an additional exclude statement for the VSP cache file.=0A=0A =
