Scanning for malware

NetBackup lets you scan the backed-up images for malware and determines the last good-known image that is malware-free. If any malware is detected during the scanning, you can see a notification in the web UI.

If you try to recover a malware-affected backup image, NetBackup shows you a warning message and confirmation is required for proceeding. You need special user privileges to restore from malware-affected images.

For more information about malware scanning, see the Malware detection chapter in the NetBackup™ Security and Encryption Guide.
