Question Folders to exclude from Microsoft Defender

[Gurv]

Server operating system version

Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server 7.9

Plesk version and microupdate number

Plesk Obsidian Version 18.0.45 Update #2

I have excluded folders like /var/lib/mysql and /var/lib/psa/dumps from the antivirus scanner. Are there any other plesk folders that should be exluded? I think this has been making backups and migrations to new server slow.

Now I want to know how you got Microsoft Defender to run on Linux.

He's probably using Microsoft Defender for Endpoint which is more geared toward high enterprise level of things. You can learn more at Microsoft Defender for Endpoint on Linux - Microsoft Defender for Endpoint

ANYWAYS.

I honestly wouldn't exclude any paths tbh, since it could be exploited. Only exclude items as needed if it's preventing something.

I was going to say I got Microsoft Defender on by magic but scsa20 is correct and even that was done by someone else and not me.
