Threat Indicators - Backup Size Anomalies for File System

The Backup size tab in the Threat Indicators dashboard lists client computers with file system backup size anomalies.

Clicking a client opens the Backup Size Anomalies Report, which allows you to analyze the statistics for that client.

Note

Clients must be running Indexing Version 2.
The backup plan for clients must be configured to use deduplication.
At least 10 incremental backup jobs must be run before the system can automatically detect anomalies.

The following options are available:

To mark the job indicator as non-anomalous, click Clear anomaly.
To recover files from a client that has unusual job activity, click Recover files. For more information, see Performing File System Restores.
