Abstract
An in-guest agent in a virtual machine (VM) operates in conjunction with a replication module. The replication module performs continuous data protection (CDP) by saving images of the VM as checkpoints at a disaster recovery site over time. Concurrently, the in-guest agent monitors for behavior in the VM that may be indicative of the presence of malicious code. If the in-guest agent identifies behavior (at a particular point in time) at the VM that may be indicative of the presence of malicious code, the replication module can tag a checkpoint that corresponds to the same particular point in time as a security risk. One or more checkpoints generated prior to the particular time may be determined to be secure checkpoints that are usable for restoration of the VM.
