Malware Scanning Configuration | Windows Server
Dear all,
I`m somewhat confused from the documentation about this and to this date, I was not able to get malware scanning working.
Our environment:
- Master+Media server windows 2019 (same physical machine, BYO device)
- local storage for disk backups
- Attached Tape Library for tape backups
- NBU 11.0
Desired functionality:
Backup to Disk -> Scan if certain anomaly score is detected (e.g. medium) -> stage to tape -> expire Image on disk
As a first step, I wanted to setup malware scanning to scan images manually without luck. In some way, all routes seems to end up in a "you need Linux or an appliance" way. Unfortunately, I`m forced to use only windows machines at this moment.
What I did:
- setup MSDP for local storage (storage server, storage pool, storage disk)
- created a 2nd VM as Scan Host (windows server 2022), deployed NBU malware scanner and poweshell script "setting up windows server as scan host" as described in the documentation + netbackup client
- configured a scanpool using "Netbackup client communication", nbu scanner and SMB
- created a SMB share on a random folder on master/storage server
Where I struggle:
Where/how do I configure the share on netbackup webUI? Is this even possible? My current understanding is, that "Universal Share" feature is needed, which is reserved for Linux.
Is there a way to use Malware Scanning Feature on a fully windows server environment with BYO devices?
Thank you in advance!
