You can set PortalProtect to backup a file to the Backup folder before it executes an action on it. This is a safety precaution designed to protect the original file from damage.

Backed up files should be deleted soon after you determine whether the modified file is usable and undamaged after PortalProtect executes an action on it. If the file is damaged or unusable, be sure to send it to Trend Micro for further analysis. It’s important to remember that even though PortalProtect may completely clean and remove a virus, the virus may have damaged the file code beyond repair.
