Backup is designed to store copies of messages which Kaspersky Secure Mail Gateway saves during processing. Access permissions to message copies in Backup are restricted to ensure the security of the Kaspersky Secure Mail Gateway server.
If a rule that has the Move copy to Backup check box selected in its settings is applied to a message, a copy of the message is placed in Backup regardless of the specified action.
Copies of messages are placed in Backup together with attachments.
In administrator mode, information is displayed about all message copies placed in Backup.
In user mode, personal Backup is displayed with information about messages of the current user. Personal Backup contains messages that had Disinfect, Delete attachment, or Delete message actions applied to them. If the Skip or Reject action was applied to the message, it is not available in personal Backup of the user.
A user can view personal Backup as well as perform actions on message copies if the administrator has turned on the relevant options in personal Backup settings.
With relevant permissions, the program administrator can do the following with message copies in Backup:
Not available for personal Backup.
When deleting from personal Backup, the copy of the message is not deleted from global Backup. All operations with the copy of the message remain available in global Backup.
The default maximum Backup space is 7 GB. As soon as the size of Backup exceeds the default threshold value, the program starts to remove the oldest message copies from Backup. When the size of Backup is again below the threshold value, the program stops removing message copies from Backup.
