Is there a purpose for the Mars agent to modify antivirus files during backups? I've witnessed multiple disk operations where .sys files were added/renamed for crowd strike. There have even been instances of modification of windows ATP files.

We read file properties and attributes as part of backup however don't do file modification. Could you please share more details of what is getting modified, is that a change of attribute of a file or data modification?
As part of configuring antivirus for the MARS agent
