17.2. Backup copies of dangerous
objects
Sometimes when objects are disinfected their integrity is lost. If a disinfected file
contains important information which is partially or fully corrupted, you can
attempt to restore the original object from a backup copy.
A
backup copy
is a copy of the original dangerous object that is created before
the object is disinfected or deleted. It is saved in Backup.
Backup
is a special storage area that contains backup copies of dangerous
objects. Files in backup are saved in a special format and are not dangerous.
17.2.1. Actions with backup copies
The total number of backup copies of objects in Backup is displayed in the
Data
files
in the
Service
section of the application’s main window. In the right-hand
part of the screen the
Backup
section displays:
•
the number of backup copies of objects created by Kaspersky Internet
Security
•
the current size of Backup.
Here you can delete all the copies in Backup with the
Clean up
button. Note that
in doing so the Quarantine objects and report files will also be deleted.
To access dangerous object copies:
Left-click anywhere in the
Backup
box to open the Protection window,
which summarises protection given by the application.
A list of backup copies is displayed in the Backup tab (see fig. 79). The following
information is displayed for each copy: the full path and filename of the object,
the status of the object assigned by the scan, and its size.
