Configuring Backup settings in the command line

On the command line, you can configure Backup settings using the BackupDaysToLive, BackupSizeLimit and QuarantineBackupFolder settings in the general application settings.

You can change the values of the settings with the help of command line switches or a configuration file that contains all general application settings.

QuarantineBackupFolder

Path to the directory in which the Backup and Quarantine objects are stored. You can specify a directory that is different from the default directory. You can use a directory on any device as the directory for storing Backup and Quarantine objects.

If the specified directory does not exist or is unavailable, the application uses the default directory.

Default value: /var/opt/kaspersky/kesl/common/objects-backup/

Root privileges are required for access to the default directory.
