Abstract
Techniques are provided for tracking a virus footprint in data copies. Data copies can be made in a variety of ways, like with snapshots, backups, replications, and simple copies. As copies of files that have not been scanned since they were last modified are made, these copies can be kept track of, and associated with the original file. When the original file is later scanned and found to be clean or infected, this information can be propagated through the copies.
