Recover from malware-affected images (clients protected by policies)

By default during recovery, NetBackup only displays the backup images that are scanned and free from malware.

To restore from malware-affected images, you must have the Administrator role or equivalent RBAC permissions. To recover a VMware asset that is affected by malware, see the following topic.

See Recover a VMware asset affected by malware.
