Starting On-Demand Plan Scan

Scanning for malware may be started on-demand for a recovery plan in the ENABLED or DISABLED state. To start scanning for a plan, perform the following steps:

1. Navigate to Recovery Plans.
2. Select the necessary plan and click Scan.
3. In the Malware Scan window, do the following:

1. In the Restore Point section, choose a restore point that you want to scan.
2. By default, all restore points created for machines included in the plan are checked for malware flags. In the Malware detection section, you can also configure the following settings:

1. [Applies only to restore and cloud plans] Decide whether you want to scan these restore points with antivirus software, YARA rules or both.

By default, Orchestrator checks a maximum of 1 recently created restore point for each machine. If all the restore points are infected, Orchestrator restores the machine to the selected recovery location without connecting it to any network. However, you can instruct Orchestrator to halt the plan and cancel the restore operation if no clean restore point is found.

For more information on how Orchestrator performs malware scan, see Overview.

2. [Applies only to restore and cloud plans] Choose whether you want to continue scanning the VM even after an infected restore point has been detected.

1. Review configuration information and click Run.
