Assets by policy type
NetBackup supports MS-Windows, Cloud-Object-Store, NAS-Data-Protection and Standard policy types for malware scan. The following section describes the procedure for scanning NAS-Data-Protection backup images for malware.
To scan the supported assets by policy type, perform the following:
- On left, click Detection and reporting > Malware detection.
- On the Malware detection page, click Scan for malware.
- In the Search by option, select Assets by policy type.
- From the Client/Asset table, select a Client/Asset to scan.
- Click Next.
If the selected client in the previous step supports multiple policy types, you can select a single policy type for scanning.
- For the Start date/time and End date/time verify the date and the time range or update it.
The scan is initiated for a maximum of 100 images.
- In the Scanner host pool, select the appropriate host pool name.
- In the Volume field, Select volume backed up for NAS devices.
Note:
Volume level filtering only fetches top-level directories of the NAS-Data-Protection volume backup. Volume level filtering is applicable only if the top-level directory is a volume. In such case, user has the option to select individual backup images by using the Backup images option in the Search by option.
- From the Current infection status list select one of the following:
Not scanned
Not infected
Infection detected by malware scan
Infection detected by file hash search
All
Note:
For NAS-Data-Protection, any backup images that were created on the media server of earlier versions of NetBackup 10.4, select the All option for Current status of malware scan.
- Click Scan for malware.
Warning:
Scan is limited to only 100 images. Adjust the date range and try again.
- After the scan is initiated, the Scan status is displayed. The following are the status fields:
Not scanned
Not infected
Infected
Failed
Note:
Hover over the status to view the reason for the failed scan.
Any backup images that fail validation are ignored. Malware scanning is supported for the backup images that are stored on storage with instant access capability and for the supported policy types only.
