Support for YARA scanning

NetBackup now supports YARA scanning for malware attacks.

YARA stands for 'Yet Another Ridiculous Acronym'.

YARA scanner is a tool that uses YARA rules to find and classify malware and other malicious artifacts within files or memory. YARA allows users to define textual or binary patterns to create rules that identify specific malware families or types of threats.

For more information, refer to the NetBackup Security and Encryption Guide.
