Are the versioned backups physically separated from the infected machine? Otherwise what stops it from just encrypting your backups hard drives as well, everytime you connect them?
- colejohnson66 10y agoWhat about a versioned filesystem (like ZFS)?
- syrrim 10y agoIf they had root access they could probably encrypt the whole drive, filesystem and all.
- metafunctor 10y agoYes – good backups would be somewhat resistant to malicious tampering, so that old versions are not immediately lost no matter what happens on the source computer.
