Exporting and importing a list of encryption rules for removable drives
You can export the list of removable drive encryption rules to an XML file. Then you can modify the file to, for example, add a large number of rules for the same type of removable drives. You can also use the export/import function to back up the list of rules or to migrate the rules to a different server.
Open the Kaspersky Security Center Administration Console.
In the console tree, select Policies.
Select the necessary policy and double-click to open the policy properties.
In the policy window, select Data Encryption → Encryption of removable drives.
To export the list of encryption rules for removable drives:

If you did not select any rule, Kaspersky Endpoint Security will export all rules.
Click the Export link.
In the window that opens, specify the name of the XML file to which you want to export the list of rules, and select the folder in which you want to save this file.
