Backup scanning plans
To scan backups for malware (including ransomware), create a backup scanning plan.
To create a backup scanning plan
- In the Cyber Protect console, go to Management > Backup scanning.
- In the Actions pane, click Create plan.
-
Change the default plan name.
-
In Backups to scan, click Specify.
- [Optional] To add a new location, click Add, select the location, and then click Done.
- Click Locations or Backups to select the scope for the plan.
-
Select entire location or individual archives in a location.
You can select one or more items.
- Click Done.
-
[If the selected archives are encrypted] In Encryption, enable the toggle, and then specify the encryption password.
All selected archives must use the same encryption password. For archives that use different encryption passwords, create separate plans.
- Click Create.
As a result, a backup scanning plan is created. The cloud agent will automatically scan the selected archives once an hour. You cannot change the plan schedule or the period between two consecutive scans.
