     If this check box is cleared, Kaspersky Security does not save a backup copy of a file in Backup before disinfecting or deleting it.

     This check box is selected by default.

     If you used Backup before clearing this check box, backup copies of files previously moved to Backup remain in Backup. Such backup copies of files are deleted depending on the value of the Store files no longer than N days setting.
