Step 6. Specify Secure Restore Settings

This step is available if you restore disks of Microsoft Windows VMs. However, this step is not available if you restore disks from storage snapshots.

You can instruct Veeam Backup & Replication to scan machine data with antivirus software and YARA rules before restoring the machine to the production environment.

To specify secure restore settings:

1. To use antivirus software as a scan engine, select the Scan the restore point with an antivirus engine check box. For more information on antivirus scan, see Antivirus Scan (Secure Restore).
2. To use a YARA rule as a scan engine, select the Scan the restore point with the following YARA rule check box and choose a YARA rule from the drop-down list.

For a YARA rule to appear in the drop-down list, it must be placed in the YaraRules folder in the Veeam Backup & Replication product folder. For more information, see YARA Scan for Scan Backup.

5. Select the Continue scanning all remaining files after the first occurrence check box if you want to continue the virtual disk scan after a virus threat is detected. For information on how to view results of the malware scan, see Viewing Malware Scan Results.
