Scan Service

Scan Service is an optional component that enables antimalware scan of backups in a cloud storage, or in a local or network folder. Scan Service requires that the management server is installed on the same machine.

Installing Scan Service provides access to the following functionality:

  • Backup scanning plans
  • Backup scanning details widget
  • Corporate whitelist
  • Safe recovery
  • The Status column in the list of backups

You can install Scan Service during the installation of the management server or you can add Scan Service later, by modifying the existing installation. For more information about how to install optional components as Scan Service, refer to To install optional components.

Scan Service is not compatible with the default SQLite database that the management server uses.

You can configure Scan Service with a Microsoft SQL or a PostgerSQL database. For more information about how to choose one, refer to Database for Scan Service.
