Forticlient Anti-Ransomware Protected Folders

Hello everyone,

 

I'm looking at configuring the anti-ransomware protection in Forticlient. We are currently running 6.4.8. I haven't found information on the format for protected folders. I would like to add the user Documents folder (among others) to the protected folders. Can I use a wildcard character "*"? How about path variables like %userprofile%? If the path variable is valid, I assume that %userprofile% would apply to the logged-in user. Any help/tips would be appreciated. 

 

Thank you!

hello @rg2017 

Yes you can use variables in protected folders. Also documentation should be updated now.

I'm using 6.4.8. I assume this information applies to that version as well.

I was wondering about adding mapped network drives to the ransomware protection. Is that a good idea, or no?
