Anomaly detection

Anomaly detection helps to detect suspicious activity in backup operation through analysis of various backup attributes such as:

  • Backup image size

  • Number of files backed up

  • Kilobytes transferred

  • Deduplication rate

  • Backup job completion time

Any significant change in the above parameters detected during a backup job are reported as anomalies. The General section lists all the data protection tools for which you can enable anomaly detection.
