Backup copy is a copy of the original dangerous object that is created when first disinfecting or deleting the object, and it
is saved in backup.
Backup is a special repository that contains backup copies of dangerous objects after processing or deletion. The main
function of a backup storage is the ability to restore the original object at any time. Files in backup are saved in a special
format and are not dangerous.
ACTIONS WITH QUARANTINED OBJECTS
You can perform the following actions on the quarantined objects:
quarantine the files that you suspect of being infected;
scan and disinfect all potentially infected objects in the quarantine using the current Kaspersky Anti-Virus
databases;
restore files to the folders from which they were moved to quarantine, or to the folders selected by the user;
delete any quarantined object or a group of selected objects;
send quarantined object to Kaspersky Lab for analysis.
To perform some actions on the quarantined objects:
1. Open the main application window and click the Quarantine link.
2. Perform the required actions in the window that will open on the Detected threats tab.
STORING THE QUARANTINE AND BACKUP OBJECTS
You can edit the following settings for the quarantine and the backup:
Determine the maximum storage time for quarantined objects and for copies of objects in the backup (the
Store objects no longer than box). By default, the objects storage time is 30 days; once it expires, the
objects will be deleted. You can change the maximum storage term or remove this restriction altogether.
Specify the maximum size of data storage area (the Maximum size box). By default, the maximum size is
100 MB. You can cancel the report size limit or set another value for it.
To configure the quarantine and backup settings:
1. Open the main application window and click the Settings link in the top part of the window.
2. In the window that will open, select the Reports and Storages section.
3. In the Quarantine and Backup section, check the required boxes and enter the maximum size of data storage
area, if necessary.
