About antimalware protection
Starting with software release 5.3, antimalware protection lets you manage the detection and removal of malware on the appliance. Feature configuration is available using the Settings > Security > Antimalware command from the NetBackup Appliance Shell Menu (shell menu).
The following describes the general feature functionality:
Enable full malware protection on the appliance, which includes automatic protection (AutoProtect) and on-demand protection. The feature is enabled by default.AutoProtect protection scans all incoming files to the appliance. On-demand protection scans files that already exist on the appliance. You must set a daily or a weekly schedule to use on-demand protection.
Set up a server to receive malware reports from the appliance. The LiveUpdate server is set as the default server.
Manually generate a report that identifies the type of malware that was detected, the affected files, the severity level, and whether any files have been quarantined.
Restore quarantined files that are not malware.
For complete configuration details, see the NetBackup Appliance Commands Reference Guide.
