[QUOTE="Burton Strauss III, post: 2417050, member: 59677"]IF you actually get 200Mbps between the end-points. In fact, while my connection tests out to be that fast, once you leave the blessed realm of the Cable Company network, it's a lot slower. End-to-end to my cloud provider I'm seeing more like 7Mbps. Unfortunately most of the other ransomeware programs have learned from the mistake and are using strong crypto. So if you aren't careful, the next time won't be so 'simple'. Like everything in life, it's a question of what you are willing & able to risk vs. what you are willing & able to spend. If it's really valuable and high risk, you reboot using a CD and make two full backups every night and send one off-site to IronMountain or the ilk. But then you have several dozen multi-terabyte drives to buy and a lot of work to perform. Or many other choices, on down to copying your data files to a USB stick a couple times a year when you remember to do it. Or do nothing and hope you are lucky - "Sliding down the razor blade of life" as I've heard it described.[/QUOTE]
