SEP 11 and Backup Exec 11d 7170 w/SP1 Performance
Updated: 22 May 2010 | 3 comments
I've just completed an install to my network of SEP 11. I was running SAV 10.1.4 on my network before the install. I've noticed that since installing SEP 11 my Backup Exec performance has slowed quite a bit. I have setup the necessary auto-protect policies to not "Scan when file is backed up" and I also have setup the necessary auto-protect centralized exceptions for several of the Backup Exec 11d process files like bengine.exe, beremote.exe... However, even though I've setup these policies and they do appear to be pushed correctly to the servers, I can still clearly see in the Auto-Protect Scan statistics that files currently in backup processing are being scanned in realtime. With SAV 10, all of these exceptions worked just fine. If I disable the SEP 11 client/services, my Backup Exec performance goes back up again.
I did perform a full removal of SAV 10.1.4 from my servers before I installed SEP 11. I did NOT perform an upgrade installation. I performed a clean install.
Thanks for any thoughts.

SEP and SEPM on same server
Does anyone have information about how to get SEP to work properly on the same server as Backup Exec? We need to be able to use both on the same server.
I installed SEP 11 to Windows Storage Server 2003 R2 SP2, which already had Backup Exec 12 for Windows Servers installed. I installed only the Antivirus and Antispyware portion of SEP.
Soon after, users reported lengthy read and write delays, and were unable to access or remain connected to shares hosted on the server. In addition, Backup Exec hung on a file during a backup job for the first time.
SEP had thrown a few minor errors into the event log since installation, mostly in regard to being unable to extract certain files for scanning. I eventually removed SEP from the server, and everything began working properly.
So, does anyone know how to get these two products to work together on the same server?
Hi Kenneth, Some confusion
Hi Kenneth,
Some confusion here ...
DId you install Backup Exec on SEPM or your Backup Exec server has SEP client.
Incase you have install Backup Exec of SEPM, Symantec do not suggest to install both of them on same server.
Further if you have SEP client install on Backup Exec server, kindly exclude necessary files/folders of Backup Exec from SEP client exclusion.
Rgrds,
SAM
