View system anomalies
NetBackup can detect system anomalies. During a backup operation, NetBackup checks all the file extensions, compares them with the ransomware extension list, and generates an anomaly if there is a match. Anomaly is generated for each ransomware extension that is found in a particular backup. This anomaly detection is enabled by default for all policy types.
