We had to turn off realtime scan on our media servers. We use
Symantec instead of McAfee but I am sure the issue is the same. It is likely
you have antivirus on your clients that you backup and having realtime av
scanning on your media servers causes a problem. My backups with realtime on
ran over 24 hours with realtime AV protection off it reduced to 10 hours.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Netbackup 5.1Mp4 with Mcafee 8.5 or 8.0 - windows
2k3 freeze the windows server
Hi Folks,
We have a
strange problem in our environment, with the Windows 2k3 server, with the
Mcafee recenlty upgraded from 4.5 to 8.5 & during the backup hours when the
no. of backup jobs is high the server is very sluggish in performance & the
most of the backup job fails with required resourses are unavailable, so many
time the jobs also fails with the storage unit unavailable.
If we
stop/disable the Mcafee Antivirus & reboot the server, and then re-run the
backup , every thing works like charm as usual.
We have opened
a ticket with the Mcafee & also to veritas, there is no proper response
& point each other.
Do any one face
such issue on the windows media server? is there any fix for this.?
Master server :
solaris - Metbackup 5.1MP4
Media server -
solaris & win 2k3 5.1Mp4
Regards,
