Hello,

 

we added file-indexing on our ubuntu 24.04 lts-servers today and started the backup of each workload.

Veeam detects all files with extension .sophos and .lynx as malware.

The files with extensions .sophos are 100% clean, these is our sophos endpoint detection for linux.

The lynx-files looks also normal and not like malware.

 

Can we exclude thee files for each workload? I only see the option to exclude a complete workload.

 

Detected files:

/opt/sophos-spl/.sophos

/usr/share/doc-base/lynx-common.lynx

/usr/share/doc/w3m/keymap.lynx

/usr/share/doc/w3m/ja/keymap.lynx

/usr/share/doc/w3m/ja/examples/keymap.lynx

/usr/share/doc/w3m/examples/keymap.lynx

/usr/share/wazuh-dashboard/plugins/wazuh/node_modules/brfs/test/

Hi ​@nils50122,

Welcome to the forum!

 

Yes, you can exclude file extensions with the help of the main menu → Malware Detection. There you go:

 

 

Hope that helps.

Hi ​@nils50122 -

Welcome to the Community! If by stating “from certain workloads” you mean only for certain Jobs, there isn’t a way to add exclusions only for specific Jobs. Lukas has provided instructions how to exclude files and/or folders from malware scans. But keep in mind, these exclusions are Global. The exclusions will apply to your whole Backup environment, not for certain Jobs and/or VMs.

Let us know if you have further questions.

Best.

Thanks - but why there is no way to add exclusions only for a specific workload. 

Global exclusions for Malware-checking are not an good idea.
