Other considerations

  • Performance

    If the application has a large number data files in JSON or XML format, or large number of backup files, it is recommended to either remove them prior to scan or set the ExcludeFileTypes scan argument to Backup, Config, or Backup,Config to exclude these files from analysis and improve analysis performance.

    If the application has a large number of media files, it is recommended to remove them prior to scan to reduce the amount of storage space required.
