Problem Description
|
Potential problems arising with Amazon S3 backups with BackupEDGE
|
Cause
|
We've found that the SonicWALL Gateway Anti-Virus subsystem may suppress the use of HTTP Byte-Range requests to prevent the sectional retrieval and reassembly of potentially malicious content. This is done by terminating the connection and thus preventing the user from receiving the malicious payload.
|
Solution
|
Override this setting in the SonicWALL by going to Security Services - Gateway Anti-Virus - and click "Configure Gateway AV Settings". Check "Enable HTTP Byte-Range requests with Gateway AV" and click on "OK".
Other firewall appliances may have similar settings. Check your User's Guide.
