Good afternoon,
We are currently experiancing some major issues with Symantec EndPoint Protection clients on
"Backup Servers" running Commvault. It appears since we have installed our client, Commvault has increased it's backup sizes to many many GB's.
It appears that SEP11 client is seeing Commvault as a "User" who is "accessing" files for a backup. As we have "Auto-Protect" on, symantec scans the file accessed (all of the files on the server). Once Symantec scans these files, commvault then has another daily check and see's that files were modified/accessed by another sourse (SEP) and starts backing them up again, which initiates another AutoProtect scan and so own repeately.
This is causing our backup servers (commvault) to take around 1 week just for an Incremental backup. Full backups have been running for weeks now with no success.
If anyone has any ideas or recommendation weather SEP and Commvault could interfere with eachothers work, or if there is any work arounds for this / quick fix - please let me know as soon as possible.
We only have standard Antivirus and Antispyware turned on.
As I am out of suggestions, we are thinking of removing the clients from servers completely.
Thank you in advance.
Kind regards,
Dragan
