I have yearly backups for three years. Right now, we could use one of those. At my last place, they only kept 1 year and monthly, but the problem was it was hundreds of terabytes of data on lots of VMs. We tried to restore backups and it was going to take longer than the long weekend just for file transfer. I don’t know what normal process is, but I believe I saw file locker Trojan that didn’t hit every byte of the drive; but rather crawled the file system and did a bit on every file header for speed. So I imagine it’s still faster to pay and fix than restore from backups for some.
