View system anomalies

NetBackup can detect system anomalies. During a backup operation, NetBackup checks all the file extensions, compares them with the ransomware extension list, and generates an anomaly if there is a match. Anomaly is generated for each ransomware extension that is found in a particular backup. This anomaly detection is enabled by default for all policy types.

To view system anomalies

On the left, select Detection and reporting > Anomaly detection > System anomalies.
The following columns are displayed:
- Anomaly ID - ID of the anomaly record
- Anomaly type - Type of the anomaly
- Severity - Severity of the anomaly
- Description - Additional information about the anomaly
- Detected on - The date when the anomaly is detected
- Review status - Indicates whether the detected anomaly is reported as a false positive, an actual anomaly, or it can be ignored.
Expand a row to see the details of the selected anomaly.
You can perform the following actions on the anomaly record:
- Click Mark as ignore when you can ignore the anomaly condition.
- Click Confirm as anomaly when you want to take some action on the anomaly condition.
- Click Report as false positive if the anomaly is a false positive. Similar anomaly conditions are not reported in the future.
