FAQ
What are the benefits of using ClamAV with NAKIVO Backup & Replication?
The NAKIVO solution delivers robust data protection capabilities for multiple workloads, including app-consistent backups, end-to-end encryption, access management, multiple-storage support and disaster recovery automation. However, as cyber attackers become more sophisticated, the risk of ransomware infecting production and backup data increases.
Integrating with ClamAV helps you ensure worry-free backup recovery by scanning NAKIVO backups for malware before recovering them to your production network. If ClamAV detects malicious code, you can recover data to an isolated network, which prevents malware from spreading to other systems.
Is there an additional cost for integrating ClamAV with NAKIVO?
No. You receive free access to NAKIVO’s Backup Malware Scan feature in all NAKIVO Enterprise editions, whether you have a subscription or a perpetual license. NAKIVO does not charge extra costs for integrating antivirus software.
Can ClamAV scan backups stored on remote devices or cloud storage?
Yes. The NAKIVO solution allows you to scan backups anywhere, regardless of storage type. You can scan backups stored in local repositories, on SMB/NFS file shares, in the cloud and S3-compatible platforms, on NAS devices or deduplication appliances before recovering data to the production environment.
Does ClamAV affect the performance of NAKIVO Backup & Replication?
ClamAV does not impact the performance of the NAKIVO solution. ClamAV is designed to run efficiently even with limited resources or low memory and CPU footprints. Pre-recovery malware scans are run on demand, so ClamAV only uses system resources when actively scanning the specified data.
