About backing up objects before disinfection or deletion

Kaspersky Security for Windows Server stores encrypted copies of objects classified as Infected in Backup before disinfecting or deleting them.

If the object is a part of a compound object (for example, part of an archive), Kaspersky Security for Windows Server will save the compound object in its entirety in Backup. For example, if Kaspersky Security for Windows Server has detected that one of the objects from a mail database is infected, it will back up the entire mail database.

Large objects placed in Backup by Kaspersky Security for Windows Server can slow down the system and reduce available disk space on the hard drive.

Files can be restored from Backup either to their original folder or to a different folder on the protected device or on another device in the local area network. A file can be restored from Backup, for example, if an infected file contains important information, but Kaspersky Security for Windows Server is unable to disinfect it without damaging its integrity and losing the information.

Restoring files from Backup may lead to protected device infection.
