so many ransomware locking down governments and companies these days, it's impossible to be 100% secure over internet 24x7, but how about a decent backup scheme, so that if someone locks down the data, you can get back online without decrypt that? it seems to me, as long as you have daily incremental backup in place, you should have no fear about those ransomwares?

- rightbyte 6y agoI don't get it. How can a public University even pay ransoms in practice? What do the statutory auditor say? What does the IRS say?
- astura 6y agoThe ransom was to prevent the data from being publicly released - they restored from backup.
