Feature request: Extend Malware Detection File System Support (ReFS, XFS, etc.)

[petesteven]

Hi Veeam R&D team,

I would like to submit a feature request regarding the current limitations of malware detection / data block scanning in Veeam Backup & Replication.

I enable inline scanning for almost all of my customers. However, it currently has the following limitations:
- Simple volumes only
- File systems: NTFS, ext4, ext3, ext2

Unfortunately, this is not supported for common file systems such as XFS and REFS, which are used by a large number of customers in production workloads.
REFS and XFS are the two most common ones that come to mind, but there are certainly others.

Therefore, please consider expanding support for these file systems.


Thank you very much!

Hello Peter,

Thank you for your feedback - we will add your vote to this feature request. Mind me asking is there a specific priority between XFS / ReFS? What's most used one in your environment?
