Fortunately, the client had enabled <a href=\"https:\/\/www.backupassist.com\/solutions\/cryptosafeguard\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">BackupAssist CryptoSafeGuard<\/a> (CSG) in BackupAssist Classic and their backups were protected while their production data was corrupted.&nbsp;<\/p><p>The client proceeded by running virus cleaning tools to remove the ransomware from the server and chose to selectively restore the affected files \u2013 rather than carry out an entire system recovery to return the server to a known state before the attack.<\/p>\n<p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, the ransomware was not properly removed. Furthermore, while recovering files from the backup, the client selected to disable CSG to facilitate the process. This removed the protection CSG had over the backups. It is at this point that the ransomware was triggered again, and it went on to corrupt both the recently restored production data as well as the backup themselves.<\/p>\n<p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><!--

In this case study, even though the client <em>thought <\/em>they had removed the malware from the infected system, it is wise to take precautions and keep <a href=\"https:\/\/www.backupassist.com\/blog\/bulletproof-your-backups-the-new-age-of-ransomware-protection\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">CryptoSafeGuard<\/a> (and in particular, the CSG Shield) <strong>enabled at all times before, during, and after the recovery process<\/strong> to stop ransomware from being able to modify the backups.

In particular, it calls for a second set of backups that are kept offsite (and ideally offline).
