Veeam Backup & Replication • Re: Exclude VM from Guest-Indexing

Hi Daniel

Yes, you can exclude a single machine from guest file indexing. You can do it in the guest processing settings with the "indexing..." button.

But after I did an In-Place Upgrade from 23H2 to 24H2 the backup job has a problem on that VM with the guest file indexing (running more than 16 hours when I cancelled the job) because it exhausts the allocated CPU and RAM.

If you require guest file index based Malware detection on your test machine, then I recommend to investigate the performance issue with our customer support team. Maybe its an easy task to just reset the entire index and start from the beginning.



Best,
Fabian
