Abstract:
A system and method provide for storing virus metadata with a backup image. Upon restoring files or data from the backup image, the virus metadata from the backup image is compared with current virus data. The comparison yields a list of new viruses that have been discovered after the backup image was created. The restore process may cause restored files to be scanned for the new viruses, while excluding previously known viruses from the scan.
