"Guest indexing data scan is wrong, we dont "guest" scan for NAS and OS backups. Also the hyperlink to the text goes to a page which does not mention nas and os backups at all.

Unstructured data (NAS shares, filers, object storage, and file-to-file/OS backups) is never mounted or indexed as a guest. Per the internal feature spec (TFS 1122147, the 13.1 unstructured-data malware detection feature), the mechanism is:

Index-based detection builds on the NAS backup index — suspicious file paths, known attacker tools, and mass deletions are flagged using analytics, signatures, and IOCs.

Could be beneficial to link the KB maybe?

Do we mean 13.0.1 or 13.1? Veeam TH for nas backup is only available in 13.1

This does not affect NAS and OS backups. Maybe it is a residue from VM malware scan? Behavior for NAS and OS malware scan is fixed as *entireVolumeScanEnabled: true *

" File and OS"

" File and OS"

" File and OS"

" File and OS"

Same "File Backup restore points and Object Storage Backup restore points" situation here.

I will annotate them as " File and OS" from now on.

We often mention two types of unstructured data sources in guides: "File Backups and Object Storage Backups"
