Managing Backup

If malicious code is detected in the file, Kaspersky Endpoint Security blocks the file, places a copy of it in Backup, and attempts to disinfect it. If file disinfection succeeds, the status of the backup copy of the file changes to Disinfected. The file becomes available in its original folder. If a file cannot be disinfected, Kaspersky Endpoint Security deletes it from its original folder. You can restore the file from its backup copy to its original folder.

Upon detecting malicious code in a file that is part of the Windows Store application, Kaspersky Endpoint Security immediately deletes the file without moving a copy of the file to Backup. You can restore the integrity of the Windows Store application by using the appropriate tools of the Microsoft Windows 8 operating system (see the Microsoft Windows 8 help files for details on restoring a Windows Store application).

Kaspersky Endpoint Security automatically deletes backup copies of files with any status from Backup after the storage term defined in the application settings has elapsed.

You can also manually delete any copy of a file from Backup.

The set of backup copies of files is presented as a table.
