Backup scanning plans

Antimalware scan of backups is available if the Scan Service component is installed with the Cyber Protect Management Server. For more information, see Scan Service.

Backup scanning plans are supported for Entire machine and Disk/volume backups of Windows machines. Only volumes with the NTFS file system and GPT or MBR partitioning are scanned.

To create a backup scanning plan

1. In the Cyber Protect web console, go to Plans > Backup scanning.
2. Click Create plan.
3. [Optional] To modify the plan name, click the pencil icon next to the default name.
4. Select the scanning agent.

5. Select backups or backup locations to scan.

   To include multiple backups in the plan, add them one by one.

6. [For backups in the cloud storage or in a network folder] If prompted, specify the access credentials for the storage.

   You can specify one password for all selected backups or backup locations. If the password does not match a specific backup, an alert will be shown. Only backups with matching passwords are scanned.
