RE: 7 Methods to Fight Back Against Ransomware
Backups, preferably offline, are the best option but also the most inconvenient. Security is a balance everyone must choose. I recommend regular backups of critical data + keeping up-to-date security on my system + making good choices when clicking links and opening files. That is my balance. To each their own.
Hard drives are cheap and you can get a hot swap drive bay for about $15. Easy to do a full image. 2+ spares for backups make it even more secure just rotate them.
I like the way you think! But most people are not that technically savvy, nor do they want to manage the grunt-work of dealing with a bunch of drives. The problem is compounded if you have multiple systems or are using devices like tablets and smartphones.
Well my method is even more complicated. I have a server and image everything to a raid set there then do a backup of the server to hot swap drives. I also keep all the important stuff on either the server or my NAS and back those up too. Only take 11tb to back up each month.
