Backup Manager Virus Options

Since CA Antivirus is bundled with Arcserve Backup, you can automatically scan for viruses during the job using the virus scanning options.

Enable Virus Scanning--Select this option to enable virus scanning and the following options:
- Skip--Does not process the infected file.
- Rename--If CA Antivirus detects an infected file (for example filename.com), it renames the file and appends 0.AVB to the file name (for example filename.com.0.AVB). If filename.com.0.AVB already exists, eTrust renames the file to filename.com.1.AVB, filename.com.2.AVB, filename.com.3.AVB and so on.
- Delete--Delete the infected file.
- Cure--Attempts to cure the infected file.
- Scan Compressed Files--Check each file in compressed archives individually. Selecting this option might affect the performance of the backup but provides increased virus protection.
