Servosity AV Exceptions
For DR Desktop/Server exceptions, check out this article: Adding StorageCraft AntiVirus Exceptions
With the extreme increase of cyber attacks in recent years, we are seeing a much needed increase in both adoption and sophistication of security software. Along with the increased vigilance of Antivirus programs like AVG, Symantec, and Webroot, we have also seen the rise of behavioral tracking software such as SentinelOne and Cisco AMP. These are great security programs, but as they look for anomalies, even legitimate applications like Servosity are being caught as a false positive.
If that's happening to you, here's a list of all the folders our software runs in or writes to, and the files we run in the background (assuming you have Servosity and Windows installed on your C drive):
