New Feature
Sandbox recovery: Malicious File Scan support for Windows sandbox virtual machines
This feature is available for all customers using the Windows operating system. It is under early access and is available for limited customers using the Linux operating system.
Use the Sandbox Recovery feature to recover a specific restore point, followed by an antivirus scan in a sandbox environment. You can certify whether the selected restore point is clean based on the scan results.
After a successful sandbox virtual machine data restore, you can scan the data for viruses and malware with the Malicious File Scan feature enabled.
For Sandbox virtual machines, you can enable the Malicious File Scan feature from the Hybrid Workloads > Restore > Sandbox Recovery > Settings page.
- ►Here is a glimpse of the update
The anti-virus scan engine scans the entire data for potential viruses and malware and provides details for the following that can help you take the necessary corrective action:
-
File Scanned: Number of files scanned for a restore job
-
Malicious Files Found: Number of malicious files found in the restored snapshot
-
Files Scan Skipped: Number of files skipped from the scan

- ►Here is a glimpse of the update
Based on the defined settings, the UDA algorithm detects malicious, intentional, or unknown activities for the number of files that are added, deleted, or modified and subsequently generates alerts, thus providing efficient data resiliency from threats.
You can review the alerts from the Security Events > Overview > Unusual Data Activity section and take appropriate action to resolve the risk to ensure the backed-up data is safe.
