CHAPTER 7. BACKUP COPYING
Kaspersky Anti-Virus allows saving a backup copy of an infected object before
processing. A copy of such object is created in the
backup storage. Later objects
located in the backup storage may be:
•
restored This feature may prove very useful, for example, if during the
disinfection process some data were lost or if the object was deleted by
mistake or if another disinfection attempt is required using updated anti-
virus database. Details see 7.3, page 72.
•
sent to Kaspersky Lab for analysis . For example, this feature can be
used if the infected object could not be disinfected. Kaspersky Lab's ex-
perts may be able to detect a virus not known before and its description
will be then included into the updated anti-virus database. In this case,
processing of such object, that will be performed later, using the updated
anti-virus database, will allow to disinfect the object and keep the integrity
of the data it contains. Details see para 7.4, page 74.
•
deleted Details see para 7.5, page 75.
A backup copy of the object will be created only if it is provided for by
the selected anti-virus protection parameters: box
Save a copy of the
original object in the backup storage box on the Actions tabs of the
Anti-Virus protection window (see Figure 16) is checked (details see
para 5.4, page 51).
The object is stored in the backup storage in the encrypted form, which ensures:
•
no risk of infection (object is not accessible without decoding);
•
saving time for the anti-virus application (encrypted files stored in the
backup storage are not identified as infected).
The backup storage is a service folder on the server disk file system. By default
the backup storage folder's name is qb . It is created in the application's
installation folder during the installation of the Security Server component. Any
other folder selected by the administrator can be used as the backup storage
(details see para 7.6, page 75).
Data that can be stored in the backup storage may be restricted by one of the
two following parameters: backup storage size or objects storage period. By
default, the size of the backup storage is limited, the maximum size is 50 MB.
The administrator can alter the restriction parameter used as well as its value
(details see para 7.6, page 75).
The compliance with the restrictions is checked when a new backup copy is
saved to the backup storage. The application performs the following actions:
