Our NT Administrator wants to know how to protect the NetApps from viruses. Unlike running on an NT server he says he can't autoprotect data. Does anyone know how this might be done?

We run Mcafee virus scans on our filers nightly with very good results. We created a username in NT that maps to root on the filer and let it rip. Initially i was concerned with the mix of Unix and NT files on our volumes confusing the virus scanner, but after a lot of testing I'm satisfied that it's not a problem.

How are you able to scan the entire filer, without wasting the time and bandwidth of also scanning .snapshot?

We leave snapshot visibility off by default. So it's not a problem for us. We have a dedicated 100BT line between the filer and the virus scanner. The filer barely even sweats when it's scanning. The NT system does though! ;-)
