What is this small icon on the file restore screen?

Post by CH79 »

We upgraded to Veeam v12 last week and I've just noticed a small star icon that is now showing next to each backup job on the file-level restore screen.
The icon also shows next to some of the VM's in that job.

These screenshots show the icon. Can anyone tell me what the icon means? I couldn't find anything about it on the Veeam documentation.

Thanks.

Hi Chris

It means, our malware scan engine detected something suspicious in your production VM:

You can find more information about the scan in your backup session details.

Thanks Fabian,

This is a really useful feature. I examined the logs and the files it identified were actually files belonging to one of our main software packages. The provider of that package does in fact suggest excluding it from av/security software.

Cheers.

Yep I noticed that within Veeam and added the files.

Many thanks again.
