AV & Firewall on while making Snapshots?

Is it wise to shut down NOD32, Spysweeper and Online Armor when making new snapshots? And if so, if I reboot to that new snapshot, will those programs be on or shut down?

 

1. I get that I'd have to update the av definitions, but will the security software I have shut down prior to making the snapshot be shut down upon rebooting to that new snapshot?

2. Just ran the copy of primary. The main log shows lots of errors:
6/15/2008 22:40 4510 Snapshot "6-15-08 Snapshot w/Webcam" created
6/15/2008 22:40 1000 CMD> COPY "Primary Snapshot" "6-15-08 Snapshot w/Webcam" EXCLUDE *.tmp

6/15/2008 23:28 1035 Copied 14.01 Gb (81606 files, 9791 dirs); Errors 42306; 47 minutes

What am I doing wrong?

 

WOW. Alot of errors. Are you running an automatic defragger ?

nod 32
online armour
spysweeper

above were turned off

trueimage

 

Yes, I saw that. Question is...what program? If I Quit Spysweeper, NOD32, and Online Armour, what could be operating?

Acronis true image?
Mozy online backup?

 

Got it working. I used task manager to close a bunch of things and FDISR had no problems with the snapshots. Hassle, yes, but mission accomplished.

Thanks for the assistance!

 

So what was the actual culprit? I am just curious.

 

Not sure since I pretty much turned off all I could. I think their was some part of either NOD32 or Online Armor still running that got in the way.

Next time I'll do it systematically, but I didn't have time for that as I needed the snapshot done asap to protect the system.

 

You leave Online Armor on and FDISR works fine? Hmmm. I'll try it.

What do you mean non av?

 

I'll give it a shot with OA on and kill NOD32 next time.

 

I leave on OA AV+ and have not had any problems creating/updating snapshots or archives.

The only program that I turn off when updating something on ISR is Anti-Executable; I leave NOD and Comodo firewall version 2 turned on. Actually, I have accidentally left AE enabled a couple of times and ISR still updated just fine.

I don't turn anything OFF : not my firewall, not DefenseWall, not Anti-Executable and that's all I have as security.
It's impossible for me to turn anything OFF, because I work with a frozen snapshot. You can only freeze the current snapshot and freeze is nothing but a copy/update from current snapshot to archive (Freeze Storage.arx).
If I turn everything OFF and I reboot, then I boot each time in an unprotected online snapshot and I'm not going to activate my security after each reboot, too inconvenient and not necessary either.
AE was a big problem in the past, not anymore after configuring AE properly.

The only error I get sometimes in FDISR is a known bug in FDISR, that has never been solved and will never be solved, since FDISR is dead. The bug was not important enough.
The bug only appears sometimes when snapshots are VERIFIED, an option that is OFF by default, which means that most users don't get these errors.
