To configure general Backup settings in Kaspersky Security Center:

  1. Expand the Managed devices node in the Kaspersky Security Center Administration Console tree.
  2. Select the administration group for which you want to configure application settings.
  3. Perform one of the following actions in the details pane of the selected administration group:
    • To configure application settings for a group of protected devices, select the Policies tab and open the Properties: <Policy name> window.
    • To configure the application for a single protected device, select the Devices tab and open the Application settings window.

      If an active Kaspersky Security Center policy is applied to a device and blocks changes to application settings, then these settings cannot be edited in the Application settings window.

    • To specify the backup folder, use the Backup folder field to select the required folder on the local drive of the protected device, or enter its full path.
    • To set the maximum Backup size, select the Maximum Backup size (MB) check box and specify the relevant value in megabytes in the entry field.
    • To set the Backup free space threshold:
      • Define the value of the Maximum Backup size (MB) setting.
      • Select the Threshold value for space available (MB) check box.
      • Specify the minimum value of free space in the Backup folder in megabytes.
    • To specify a folder for restored objects, do one of the following:
      • Select the relevant folder on a local drive of the protected device in the Restoration settings section.
      • Enter the name of the folder and the full path to it in the Target folder for restoring objects field.
  6. In the Storages settings window on the Quarantine tab, configure the following Quarantine settings:
    • To change the Quarantine folder, in the Quarantine folder entry field specify the complete path to the folder on the local drive of the protected device.
    • To set the maximum Quarantine size, select the Maximum Quarantine size (MB) check box and specify the value of this parameter in megabytes in the entry field.
    • To set the minimum amount of free space in Quarantine, select the Maximum Quarantine size (MB) check box and the Threshold value for space available (MB) check box, and then specify the value of this parameter in megabytes in the entry field.
    • To change the folder to which objects are restored from Quarantine, in the Target folder for restoring objects field specify the complete path to the folder on the local drive of the protected device.
  7. Click OK.
