Anti-Virus Precautions

I'm about to setup my first CRM 3.0 coupled with SQL2000 dedicated server an
d
was wondering if there are any folders or file types that the anti virus
program should be excluded from scanning to prevent corruption.
Please be specific as to each program, CRM and SQL2000.
Thank you as always for your wisdom.
He has half the deed done who has made a beginning ~ HoraceI can't say about the CRM but for SQL Server at the minimum you want to
exclude:
folders with .mdf, .ndf and .ldf files
SQL Server ad related services log files
Backup files
Here is a little more info that may be helpful.

didnt see one on the managed newsgroups list.|||Hello,
You can exclude the directories where your database files, backup files and
audit files for SQL server are stored in your antivirus program. In that way
antivirus wont scan those folders.
Thanks

Anti-Virus on SQL Configuration

Hi:
We have Symantec Enterprise Anti-Virus 10.0 but it is not currently
installed on our new SQL box. I would like to know what files and folders t
o
exclude from scanning before I install. I have search Symantec knowledgebas
e
but no answers. Does MS have a page on this like they do for Exchange or is
it pretty much the same as Exchange?
Thanks,http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=309422

Symantec has nothing but the other article you pointed me to helps.
