Why couldn't the ransomware encrypt your Time Machine drive as well?
- organian 10y agoDon't keep the drive always connected and you're fine
- Mister_Snuggles 10y agoIt certainly could do this. I don't think Time Machine protects its data in any way. Backups have to be coupled with some kind of way of noticing that something is wrong. If the ransomware encrypted your data slowly over the course of months and you didn't notice you might be out of luck regardless of your backup system.
