[-virus <skip|delete|rename|cure> [-virus_scanarchive]]

-virus

Enables automatic scanning for viruses during the backup operation. You must also include one of the virus scanning subordinate options.

Skip

Rename

Renames the infected files with the extension AVB. If a file with the same name and the extension AVB exists, then the extension AV0 is used, followed by AV1, AV2, and so on.

Cure

Attempts to cure the infected file.

-virus_scanarchive

Checks each file in compressed archives individually. Selecting this option might affect the performance of the backup but provides increased virus protection.
