      I didnt see anyone talk about preventing Crypto virus from encrypting files. We used AppLocker and it resolved the issue for us, if you are not using an enterprise OS then you can use Software Restriction Plicies.

        Detaching your backups is how you protect your backups. Sure you could add things like AppLocker, but if you have properly separated systems then you have nothing to worry about.

          This discussion is not on preventing cypto. this part of the discussion was on dealing with the backups in a way that they cannot become tainted.
