      Yes. Maybe. Sometimes. Much more likely if you do an encrypted backup and decrypt it with the tool.

      Regardless it’s not guaranteed to pick them up.

        May give it a try one of these days. But knowing nothing of the reliability of the tool in detecting the malware decreases my motivation to even try I must say.
