Apple says that antivirus programs can slow down Time Machine backups to an external drive. Apple recommends we program the AVG software not to scan “Backups.backupdb."   How do i do that? 

Your colleague suggested I open File Scan, select a file and then I could uncheck Time Machine Backups... That didn't happen.. Never saw the place to check or uncheck Time Machine Backups.  (I'm running Catalina on my mac)
