Exclude Accesses By Process (Ie. Backup Software)

[SpareSimian]

I have a backup system that scans the whole drive for file changes and uploads those changes to a server, using rsync. Is there some way to configure Immunet to ignore all file accesses made by the backup software (in this case, cwRsyncServer's rsyncd.exe)? The files have presumably already been scanned for infection when they were written by other programs, so they don't need to be scanned again. Plus, the backup server can scan them with its own software if it wants, without impacting performance on the client. It sucks to have your machine slow to a crawl because two processes need to scan files. Reducing that to one process would be a big win.

 

I'm looking at different AV solutions and I've found how to do this for Microsoft Security Essentials, so I need the equivalent for that. (I'm about to switch my own machine from AVG, which lacks this ability, and I'd install Immunet instead of MSE if it can do this.)

You can add the .exe file path to Immunet's Exclusion List in Settings or if you find Immunet still scanning the backup files while being created you could try and exclude the software's Program Files folder and the destination file path for the backups. That should work I would think.
