Virus Scanning Information
Virus scanning on the XProtect Basis+ server, and computers to which data is archived, should if
possible be avoided:
• If you are using virus scanning software on the XProtect Basis+ server, or on a computer
to which data is archived, it is likely that the virus scanning will use a considerable amount
of system resources on scanning all the data which is being archived. This may affect
system performance negatively. Also, virus scanning software may temporarily lock each
file it scans, which may further impact system performance negatively.
• Likewise, virus scanning software on the XProtect Basis+ server is likely to use a
considerable amount of system resources on scanning data used by the Download
Manager.
If allowed in your organization, you should therefore disable any virus scanning of affected areas
(such as camera databases, etc.) on the XProtect Basis+ server as well as on any archiving
destinations.
