Veeam Backup & Replication • Re: Veeam 12.1 & Suspicious files

I was getting a lot of false-positives and I kept adding exclusions. I was getting frustrated and feeling like I was spending more time than should be required "baby sitting" the malware functionality of Veeam but... I recently started over from scratch, due to a couple of unrelated issues. I rebuilt the Veeam server, proxies, etc and all of the backup jobs. Since doing this a week ago, I haven't received a single false-positive, so far!

Veeam's malware detection is maturing in the right direction! I still had to manually add some exclusions but several of my previous exclusions were already excluded via omissions in the C:\Program Files\Veeam\Backup and Replication\Backup\SuspiciousFiles.xml file. Great job, Veeam Team!
