Using the Backup and Restore feature of Kaspersky Total Security, you can create a backup copy of files to prevent the loss of important information as a result of a virus or the modification or deletion of files by another user. Backup copies can be saved in online storage, on a removable drive, local drive, FTP server, or network drive.
We recommend that you store your backup on an external hard drive or in online storage. If your computer’s hard drive malfunctions or the data on it is deleted by malware, you will lose any backups made on your local drive.
If you are backing up your files to a My Book (Western Digital) drive, format the drive to the NTFS file system before creating the backup task.
