Abstract
A system for efficient isolation of backup versions of data objects affected by malicious software includes one or more processors and a memory coupled to the processors. The memory comprises program instructions executable by the processors to implement a backup manager configured to receive an indication that a data object is infected by malicious software. In response to the indication, the backup manager is configured to identify a particular backup version of the data object to be excluded from a data set to be used for a restore operation.
