Veeam Backup & Replication • Re: Veeam Threat Hunter False-Positive in OST File

Hi cgsm,

Thank you for sharing the case number and for the details. Looks like the case just got opened, so please allow Support time to review the situation with the unexpected flag.

For your second part, to confirm you're setting the exclusion as shown here, correct?

Please see the note on that page:

Note

Malware exclusions are applied only to guest indexing data scan and inline scan and do not affect scan using Veeam Threat Hunter, third-party antivirus software, or YARA.

So Threat Hunter scans from Scan Backup or Surebackup jobs will scan any machine it is instructed to. If you're using SureBackup, consider excluding this machine while Support reviews the situation.
