BACKUP
Sometimes, when disinfecting the objects, their integrity cannot be saved. If the disinfected file contained important
information, and after disinfection it became partly or completely inaccessible, you can attempt to restore the original
object from its backup copy.
Backup copy is a copy of the original dangerous object that is created when first disinfecting or deleting the object, and
saved in backup.
Backup is a special repository that contains backup copies of dangerous objects subject to processing or deletion. The
main function of backup is the ability to restore an original object at any time. Files in backup are saved in a special
format and are not dangerous.

ACTIONS ON BACKUP COPIES
The list of backup copies of stored objects is displayed in the Backup section of the report window (see the figure below).
To view the backup areas:
1. Open the main application window (on page 13) and click the button.
2. In the left part of the window that will open, select the Backup item (see the figure below). Content of the
storage will be displayed in the right-hand part of the window.
A list of backup copies is displayed in the storage. The following information is provided for each copy: the full name of
the object with the path to its original location, time when the object was moved to the storage, the status of the object
assigned after the scan, and its size.
You can restore selected copies using the Restore button. An object is restored from the backup with the same name
that it had prior to disinfection.
If there is an object with the same name in the original location (this situation is possible when restoring an object with a
copy created prior to disinfection), a corresponding warning will pop up on screen. You can change the location of the
object being restored, or rename it.
We recommend that you scan the object for viruses immediately after restoring it. It is possible that you will manage to
disinfect it without losing its integrity using the updated databases.
We do not recommend that you restore backup copies of objects unless absolutely necessary. This could lead to an
infection on your computer!
