Veeam & Panda AD 360

[Bob_the_Goon]

Hello guys and gals,

 

We have noticed an incompatibility when using Veeam 9.5 and Panda AD 360 anti virus. Panda is slowing down the processing rate of all of our B2D and tape jobs. Disabling Panda when the jobs are running allows the jobs to run at their usual speed. Is anyone else using both of these products on the same server?

 

I've added in the exclusions that Veeam recommend as per the following kb article but they don't seem to make a difference. - https://www.veeam.com/kb1999

 

Any ideas?

I must admit I have noticed our backups taking longer than previous but hadn't put two and two together to say it was Panda360 related.

 

I've added those exceptions to see if it makes any difference at this end.

 

Some of our backups now appear to be ending during the school day and we see high iOPS which results in servers going offline for 10 - 15 mins when snapshots are being merged.

I may have solved this although it isn't ideal.

 

I've copied our server profile in the Panda console and called the new profile "Veeam Server". I've then created a new computer group called Veeam Server and linked it to the new profile. I've moved the Veeam server into this group. This has allowed me to play with the settings a little more freely.

 

Essentially, I've had to disable all of the product features except for File antivirus. We used to have "Advanced Protection", "Web browsing antivirus" and "Web access control" enabled. If any of these features were enabled, our backup speeds went down the toilet.

 

So not an ideal solution as I would like to have all of the above enabled but at least it's just the one server that has this reduced functionality. It's a trade-off though.

Thanks, I'll do some more digging myself and let let you know what I find.
