Forwarding of objects from Backup to other email addresses

When objects are sent from Backup, the computers of the message recipients may become infected.

You can forward objects that were saved in Backup to any manually specified email addresses. In this case, the object is delivered to the recipient as an attached file. The message body contains information about the object.

This functionality is available to users who have been included into the Kse Administrators or Kse AV Security Officers groups.

To send objects, you must specify the settings of the Microsoft Exchange web service for the Security Server on which the object was detected.

For security purposes, the application signs each message sent from Backup with a header containing an encrypted hash of the message. A signature decryption key is generated automatically during installation or upgrade of the application.

To prevent the application from re-scanning a sent message and returning it to Backup, all protected Microsoft Exchange servers must have identical sets of signature decryption keys. To do so, you need to manually export the key of the Hub Transport server and import it into the Edge Transport server, and vice versa.

To send an object from Backup to manually defined email addresses:

  1. In the Management Console tree, select the node of a Microsoft Exchange server and open it.
  2. Select the Backup node.
  3. In the table containing the list of Backup objects in the workspace, select the object that you want to send.
  4. Click the Send button located in the upper part of the workspace above the list of objects, and select the Send to other addresses menu item.

    Clicking this button opens the Send Backup object window.

  5. In the Specify the recipient addresses for sending the object field, enter the email addresses of message recipients. You can specify multiple addresses by separating them with a semicolon.
  6. If necessary, modify the message subject in the Subject field. Default subject: Object was sent from Kaspersky Security Backup.
  7. If necessary, edit the text in the Object details field. By default, the field contains information about the Backup object properties.
  8. In the lower part of the window, carefully read the warning text and select the check box next to it if you accept the risk and want to perform the action.
  9. Click OK.

The application sends the selected object to the specified addresses.
