CDP and inline ransom detection

Post by Luca82 »

Hi everyone, I would like to know if the Inline Ransom Detection (the one that uses entropy analysis) works with the CDP replica or only with the snapshot-based replica.
Thanks!

Currently, replicas (both snapshot and CDP) do not have their own malware detection mechanism; it is inherited from the backup jobs.

This means it appears only when the source virtual machine is also added to a backup job that has malware detection enabled. In such a case, when creating a replica restore point, we will check the malware status of this machine in the backup job, and if the status is infected, we will similarly mark the point as infected.

Thanks!
