ca_backup Virus Options

The ca_backup command includes the following global virus options:

ca_backup

[-virus <skip|delete|rename|cure> [-virus_scanarchive]]

• -virus

  Enables automatic scanning for viruses during the backup operation. You must also include one of the virus scanning subordinate options.

  • Skip

    Does not back up the infected file.

  • Rename

    Renames the infected files with the extension AVB. If a file with the same name and the extension AVB exists, then the extension AV0 is used, followed by AV1, AV2, and so on.

  • Delete

    Deletes the infected file.

  • Cure

    Attempts to cure the infected file.

• -virus_scanarchive

  Checks each file in compressed archives individually. Selecting this option might affect the performance of the backup but provides increased virus protection.
