You can enable ransomware protection on a Windows Backup Gateway.
Notes
-
For all the Windows Backup Gateways that have access to a disk library mount path, ransomware protection is enabled by default.
-
However, for Linux Backup Gateways that have access to a disk library mount path, you must enable ransomware protection manually. For instructions, see Ransomware Protection for Disk Libraries on a Linux Backup Gateway.
-
If ransomware protection is disabled on Windows Backup Gateways that have disk library association, index cache, or deduplication databases, it will be automatically re-enabled after 24 hours.
-
Multi-instancing is supported on Windows Backup Gateways. However, both instances must operate on the same Service Pack level to maintain compatibility and system stability.
Procedure
-
From the Command Center navigation pane, go to Manage > Infrastructure.
The Infrastructure page appears.
-
Click the Backup Gateways tile.
The Backup Gateways page appears.
-
Click the Backup Gateway.
-
In the Control section, move the Ransomware protection toggle key to the right.
For a Linux Backup Gateway, the toggle key is disabled and displays the status of ransomware protection.
Additional Information
Administrative shares pose a security vulnerability and if you have an existing disk library mount path configured to use an administrative share, reconfigure the share using a dedicated share. For more information, see Reconfiguring Mount Paths that Use Administrative Share.
