About Backup
Kaspersky Security places copies of messages in Backup. Copies of messages are stored in Backup in unreadable format and therefore do not compromise your computer's security.
Kaspersky Security places copies of the following messages in Backup:
- After scanning by the Anti-Virus component: copies of messages, before an attempt is made to disinfect or delete messages, or delete an attachment using the Disinfect, Delete message, or Delete attachment actions.
- After scanning by the Anti-Spam engine: copies of messages with Spam / Probable spam / From untrusted sender status label, before an attempt is made to delete them using the Delete message action.
- After scanning by the Anti-Phishing component: copies of messages with Phishing / Malicious link status label, before an attempt is made to delete them using the Delete message action.
- After content filtering of messages: copies of messages that contain attachments with forbidden names, attachments of forbidden formats, or attachments whose size exceeds the limit.
Copies of messages are placed in Backup together with attachments.
The default maximum Backup space is 1 GB. As soon as this threshold value is exceeded, the application starts to remove the oldest copies of messages from Backup. When the amount of occupied space is again below the threshold value, the application stops removing copies of messages from Backup.
