    Hi

     

    One of our customer's uses Symantec Protection Engine (SPE) for NAS.

    I have had a look at the SPE configuration the customer has & the policies as well as SPE documentation from Symantec, however I cannot seem to find anything in there about how often SPE scans a filer. There are no scheuled scan settings that I can see.

     

    Does this mean it's constantly scanning a filer/s and once it finishes scanning all the files (where possible) it starts again from the start?

    Any confirmation on the scanning frequency would be much appreciated.

     

    Thanks

    Symantec Protection Engine is an "On-Demaind" scanner. This means SPE just processes the requests from the filer. What gets scanned is controlled by the filer. There is not an option to for SPE to initiate scans.
