Kaspersky Endpoint Security 11 for Windows

RESTORE. Restoring files from Quarantine

July 20, 2023

ID 215844

Restore a file from Quarantine to a special folder on the computer. Then you must manually move the file to the destination folder. The Quarantine is a special local storage on the computer where files that are infected by viruses or non-disinfectable files are moved to. Quarantined files are stored in an encrypted state and do not threaten the security of the device. Kaspersky Endpoint Security uses Quarantine only when working with Kaspersky Sandbox and Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response Optimum solutions. In other cases Kaspersky Endpoint Security places the relevant file in Backup. For details on managing Quarantine as part of solutions, see Kaspersky Sandbox and Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response Optimum Help Guides.

To execute this command, Password protection must be enabled. The user must have the Restore from Backup permission.

The object is quarantined under the system account (SYSTEM).

Command syntax

Advanced settings

 

/REPLACE
