Is it fine to stop "Backup Exec Remote Agent for Windows Servers" services?

Hi,
I am thinking of stopping "Backup Exec Remote Agent for Windows Servers" services on my Server as it keeps on creating some temp big size temp file e.g. "Backup Exec AOFO Store".

Everytime I always have to restart the "Backup Exec Remote Agent for Windows Servers" services to clear up the temp file.

Any advise from anyone here?

Also take a look at the following article
The Backup Exec Advanced Open File Option cache file is not deleted when running Mcafee NetShield 4.5 on the system.

Often the ANTI-VIRUS stops the file from being deleted after the backup finishes so ensure that u have the directory and the files mentione in the document above added to your ANTI-VIRUS exclusion list

iamthecreator: Ok I will try putting that into the exclusion list of my Anti Virus software and see how it goes tonight.
Hi It seems that putting the directory into the exculsion list of my Anti Virus doesnt do the trick.
I am still getting a huge temp file for it.

any other solution?
ypu will get that file if you have the AOFO installed.
But is it being deleted after backup???
what about the file exclusion? .vsp???
I check it again later on Monday as no scheduled backup is running for tonight
