Abstract
A method for restoring a data volume, comprising: receiving a request to restore the data volume; identifying a risk map that is associated with the data volume, the risk map including a plurality of entries, each entry mapping a different respective one of a plurality of snapshot identifiers to a respective risk assessment score for a snapshot corresponding to the snapshot identifier, the respective risk assessment score being generated by security software, the respective risk assessment score representing a level of threat or potential harm posed by one or more files in the data volume; identifying a risk policy that corresponds to the data volume; retrieving the risk assessment score threshold from the risk policy; performing a search of the risk map to identify a snapshot whose respective risk assessment score satisfies the risk assessment score threshold; and using the identified snapshot to restore the data volume.
