Hi fborup,
1. Sure, Configure it in the Malware Detection options
2. Can you share a bit more on the issue and how you spotted it? And you're talking about the Suspicious Files XML or Veeam Threat Hunter? For the former, as noted in the User Guide link before, you can always manually update it to ensure that a network issue doesn't interfere
3. Same question as with 2, can you confirm if you're talking about the Suspicious Files information or the Veeam Threat Hunter signature updates? For Veeam Threat Hunter, these are updated every time before running the scan. At this time not configurable, it will happen as needed during scans
4. EICAR is the way to go here for Veeam Threat Hunter testing; for other Malware Detection items (e.g., bulk delete, file extension changing, etc), you can reproduce the issues noted here on a test machine and then do a backup to test. (This is how I test in my lab for example)
