Hi @Bloopa,

I usually recommend the below to customers:

Exclusions for Windows CS/MA: Recommended Antivirus Exclusions for Windows (commvault.com)
Exclusions for UNIX: Recommended Antivirus Exclusions for UNIX and Macintosh (commvault.com)

No environment is 100% the same so its worth checking things like Mount Paths, IndexCache, DDB Locations on your machines and explicitly exclude those from AV software.

 

Best Regards,

Michael
