SaaS Ransomware Backup and Recovery FAQ
What steps should be taken immediately following a ransomware attack?
If you suspect a ransomware attack, immediately:
- Use SpinBackup’s recovery tools to restore data from clean backup versions.
- Disconnect affected devices from the network to prevent spreading.
- Report the incident to your IT department or security team.
- Avoid paying the ransom as it doesn’t guarantee data recovery.
How does the backup solution assist with data recovery after a ransomware attack?
SpinBackup provides an intuitive interface to restore data from before the attack:
- Identify and select the compromised files or entire accounts.
- Choose a clean version from the versions stored prior to the attack.
- Initiate the recovery process, which will restore the selected files back to their original locations in the SaaS environment.
