Migrating to backups seems possible. Garmin is pretty complex in that it produces hardware and software across a few verticals, but I don't think there's anything that makes them particularly unique in the way they'd handle backups/failover. I think it's also possible that Garmin proactively pulled the plug on their public-facing services in order to mitigate the spread of the attack. It would be _really_ bad if the attackers could make the hop from Garmin's web services to consumer devices.

According to Symantec attackers first gain entry and then explores the network. This process will take anything from days to weeks. By the time the encryption begins they have explored every way possible into critical systems. Preventing the second stage attack is what Symantec has been successful in preventing, this video gives an insight into how that works https://youtu.be/p1KJiv-RjMU https://youtu.be/p1KJiv-RjMU
