能否通过CLI、API或其他方式对指定文件启动扫描？用于Veeam v10安全恢复

Hey there! Let's break down how you can automate scans for specific files to fit your client's Veeam v10 Secure Restore workflow:

1. PowerShell CLI (Official Veeam Module) #

Veeam ships with a dedicated PowerShell module that lets you control most backup/restore operations—including scanning. Here’s the quick workflow:

• First, load the module on your Veeam server or a machine with the Veeam console installed:

  Import-Module Veeam.Backup.PowerShell
  

• Next, fetch the target restore point or backup object, then run a scan targeting your specific file path. For example, you can use Start-VBRRestorePointScan with parameters to narrow down to the exact file you need to check.

Pro tip: Make sure your PowerShell session has administrative access to the Veeam server, and that the module version matches Veeam v10 to avoid compatibility hiccups.

2. REST API Integration #

Veeam v10's REST API supports triggering security scans, which is perfect for building this into custom automation pipelines. Here’s the high-level process:

• Authenticate to the Veeam API to get a valid access token.
• Send a POST request to the restore point scan endpoint, including the specific file path in the request body, along with any scan rules defined in your Secure Restore configuration.
• This method gives you full flexibility to integrate scanning directly into your client’s existing tools or workflows.

3. XML Configuration + Triggered Tasks #

If your client’s scan needs are static (fixed file paths), you can define the specific files in the Secure Restore XML configuration, then trigger the scan via Veeam’s built-in task scheduler or a simple script. While less flexible than CLI/API, this works great for repeatable, predefined scan jobs.

Key Reminders #

• Ensure your Veeam server has a compatible antivirus engine configured for Secure Restore—scans won’t run without this setup.
• Always specify the full path to the file within the backup/restore point to avoid scanning unnecessary data and keep performance snappy.
