Purpose
To ensure the performance and reliability of Veeam Plug-ins for Enterprise Applications, we strongly advise implementing the antivirus exclusions outlined in this article. Interference caused by security software will not always cause Veeam Plug-ins for Enterprise Applications to fail; some conflicts may cause nuanced performance impacts, such as slow backup speeds, slow restore speeds, or seemingly random job failures.
Antivirus Exclusions
Limitations and Considerations
Given the complex nature of antivirus software, it may be necessary to add additional exclusions. Users are encouraged to review their antivirus logs or history to determine if more objects must be excluded.
Although these exclusions are primarily intended for antivirus software, they may also need to be applied to other security software. This includes any software that performs file scanning or access control, which could potentially block or interfere with Veeam-related processes.
All folder paths listed in this article include recursively all files and subfolders.
For folder paths containing Veeam executables (e.g., C:\Program Files\), some security software may require explicit process exclusions to be configured for the executables within those folders rather than a folder-wide process exclusion.
