TL;DR

Druva Restore Scan scans backup data for malware and IOCs before restoration, preventing ransomware reinfection in production environments.
Built-in antivirus and optional IOC matching leverage continuously updated Druva threat signature sets to catch even the most recent known threats.
Administrators can configure global restore policies, enable Quick Scan for faster recovery, and generate detailed file-level audit reports for incident response.

Summary

This short product demo introduces Druva Restore Scan, a feature designed to prevent ransomware reinfection during data recovery. When organizations restore from backups following a cyberattack, they risk reintroducing malware into production systems if backup data is not properly vetted. Druva Restore Scan addresses this gap by scanning backup data for malware and known indicators of compromise (IOCs) before any data reaches its destination. The feature combines built-in antivirus scanning with optional IOC matching against Druva's continuously updated threat signature sets. Administrators can configure global restore policies — such as allowing scan bypass during device replacement — and enable Quick Scan mode to skip low-risk file types like images for faster recovery. Detailed file-level reports provide audit trails showing exactly which files were blocked and why, giving security teams the visibility they need for incident response documentation. The result is centralized, policy-driven enforcement that ensures every restore is clean, controlled, and defensible.

Key Quotes

0:00 "Restoring from backups after an attack shouldn't mean risking reinfection, but without proper scanning organizations are often left without confidence in the cleanliness of the data."
0:11 "Restore Scan adds an essential layer of hygiene by scanning backup data from malware and known indicators of compromise before it ever reaches the destination system."

FAQ

What happens if malware is detected during a restore scan?

Druva Restore Scan blocks the infected files from reaching the destination system and generates a detailed file report identifying which files were blocked and the reason for each block, giving administrators full visibility into the threat.

Can administrators skip scanning in certain scenarios?

Yes. Global restore policies allow admins to configure exceptions, such as skipping the scan during device replacement. Quick Scan mode can also be enabled to bypass common low-risk file types like images, speeding up recovery without sacrificing meaningful security coverage.
