ABSTRACT:
In one embodiment, incremental backups containing information on modified addressable portions of a data storage device are evaluated for presence of malicious codes (“malwares”). Each modified addressable portion may be individually accessed and scanned for malicious codes. Each modified addressable portion may also be mapped to its associated file, allowing the associated file to be scanned for malicious codes. These allow an incremental backup to be evaluated even when it only contains portions, rather than the entirety, of several different files. A clean incremental backup may be selected for restoring the data storage device in the event of malicious code infection.
