Configuring Protection exclusions

Active protection and Antivirus scans use the definitions from the Protection database to determine potential threats. If you trust some executable files and folders, you can add them to the Protection exclusions list, so Acronis True Image 2021 will skip them during scanning.

To add a file or folder to the Protection exclusions list:

1. On the Protection dashboard click Protection exclusions.
2. From the Add exclusion menu, select what you want to exclude.
   • Add file – to exclude executable or other files from scanning.
   • Add folder – to exclude folders from scanning.
3. Browse for the item that you want ot exclude and click Open.
4. Add another item to exclude or click Save to update the list.

To remove files or folders from the Protection exclusions list:

1. On the Protection dashboard click Protection exclusions.
2. In the list of Protection exclusions, select the check boxes for the items that you want to remove and click Remove.
3. Click Save to update the list.
