TruScan Proactive Threat Exception

Hello,

what exactly does Creating exceptions for TruScan Proactive Threat Scans mean? Is the process ignored if SEP identify it as a threat? Or are all activies by this process are ignored?

What I want to achieve: if I understood it correctly, every file on our fileserver will be scanned if the backup tool access it for backup. I want to configure SEP to ignore these file access.

Is the TrueScan Proactive Threat Exception the right way?

Kind regards,
Dennis
