Error code Product Applies to
BA8002 BackupAssist ER BackupAssist ER v1 and later

Description

Your backup job was not executed because BackupAssist ER has been blocked after detecting a possible ransomware infection on the machine. No jobs will run until BackupAssist ER has been unblocked.

Resolution

This resolution requires following the CryptoSafeGuard interface’s work flow.

There are two basic steps in the work flow:

  1. Use the CryptoSafeGuard interface to confirm or deny the infection by selecting Yes or No.
  2. If you select No (no infection), remove files or use the CryptoSafeGuard interface to whitelist the infected files.

To learn how to perform these tasks, see the CryptoSafeGuard ransomware protection guide
