Title: Antivirus settings
Post by: DanB35 on July 02, 2016, 10:35:12 PM: I'm running SME 9.1, fully updated. The Antivirus panel in the server-manager only has the option to scan daily, weekly, or not at all. Is there any way to configure when the scans happen? I have it set to weekly, and the scan seems to happen at the same time as my full backup. The i/o contention is slowing down both operations. Yes, the other option would be to change when the backup happens, but it seems there should be a way to adjust the schedule for both operations. Am I missing something?

I agree, scheduled times should be adjustable. I believe 4AM is also a busy time, and in this 'cloud' age,a server could well be located NOT in the TZ where the users are...

I remember having this discussed before, for 4AM for ME was inconvenient and there was no way to change this. I think we need to put in a NFR.
