You need "cold" backups to get around this without paying.

- thenomad 13y agoI'm assuming that Carbonite doesn't have a Dropbox-like version retention system? Or does this virus get around that?
- pavel_lishin 13y agoI was under the impression that Crashplan's backups included limited versioning?
- secabeen 13y agoThey do. I wouldn't even call them limited. They're pretty extensive, up to and including never remove deleted files.
- mey 13y agoBackblaze maintains previous versions of files on a rolling basis of 4 week window. This includes deleted files. I do not work for backblaze, but I am a happy user.
