Questions about Secure Restore Antivirus Integration (CrowdStrike and CLI Behavior)

Post by rin »

Hi Team,

I have a couple of questions regarding the antivirus scan feature used by Secure Restore.

1. CrowdStrike support

I understand that Secure Restore can integrate with third-party antivirus software and that antivirus definitions are configured through AntivirusInfos.xml.

In my environment, I am using CrowdStrike Falcon.

Could you please clarify whether CrowdStrike Falcon is supported for Secure Restore antivirus scanning?

If CrowdStrike is not one of the predefined antivirus products in AntivirusInfos.xml, can it still be used with Secure Restore through a custom AntivirusInfos.xml configuration, provided that it supports command-line scanning?

If not, is CrowdStrike currently unsupported for Secure Restore antivirus scanning?

2. CLI integration behavior

The documentation states that the antivirus software must support a command-line interface (CLI).

Could you clarify how Veeam actually invokes the antivirus scan during Secure Restore?

My understanding is that Veeam executes the antivirus command defined in AntivirusInfos.xml and passes the mounted restore data location to the antivirus software for scanning.

Is this understanding correct?

I am not looking for implementation details or proprietary information. I would simply like to understand the expected integration method from a user perspective.

Thank you for your help.

Best regards,
Rin
