SAV and TimeMachine

st181234

I installed the SAV for Mac today.

After installation, I made a local drive scan, and It found 4 threats.

I deleted the infected files.

After a while, I got alert from SAV that it denied access to the files, which had been deleted but still in my TimeMachine backup.

Although everything seems alright now, SAV interfered TimeMachine's operation.

Will this corrupt my TimeMachine backup?

    Ah, Mac OS holds many surprises/pleasures when the option/alt key is used. 

    (Was alt at one time short for alternative? I wonder.) 

    Now, I don't know whether all users of Time Machine have an option to Verify Backups. Looking at http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4076 the feature is intended for Time Capsule-based Time Machine backups, so maybe the feature does nothing if the destination is some other type. 

    Postscript

    I never used Time Capsule, but long ago I did do Time Machine backups to Mac OS X Server.
