You cannot change data loss prevention parameters or restore files from copies in user mode. For this actions, switch to administrator mode.

 

To protect important files from being changed by malicious software, enable the Data Loss Prevention function. With this function, you can make copies of files that reside in the specified folders.

Click the Select files and directories to protect link to specify the objects for which protected copies will be created. You may change the objects list at any time. You may also specify the disk to store copies and the frequency of creating copies. After the chosen interval, Dr.Web will inspect the specified objects for changes and create a copy if any change will have been made. You may also delete the copies to free up some disk space (deleting the copies will not affect the original files), and block creating the copies while working on battery mode.

If your files were corrupted, you can restore their copies created by the certain date. To do that, click the Restore button in the main window. In the window displayed, select the required date and all copies that were available for the date will be restored to the specified folder.

To start creation of protected copies manually, click the Create copy button in the main window.In the window displayed, specify the description for the new copy.
