Endpoint Central Anti-Ransomware: Backup Restore

Ransomware attacks have become an increasingly prevalent threat to businesses of all sizes. The consequences of such attacks can be devastating, leading to significant financial losses, data breaches, and reputational damage. To mitigate these risks, robust security measures are essential.

ManageEngine Endpoint Central's Anti-Ransomware offers a crucial layer of protection by implementing a proactive backup strategy. This feature is designed to safeguard your valuable data from the clutches of ransomware. This document explains about the restore functionality of ManageEngine Endpoint Central Anti-Ransomware.

Technology used for Backup

ManageEngine Endpoint Central's Anti-Ransomware goes a step further in safeguarding your data by utilizing Microsoft's Volume Shadow Copy Service (VSS). This powerful technology enables the software to create scheduled backups of your critical files without interrupting system performance. Shadow copies allow for quick recovery of files, minimizing downtime. These are created without interrupting system or application usage, and only the changes made since the last shadow copy are captured, optimizing storage space.

Frequency of Backup

The shadow copies of your critical data are diligently created every three hours. This frequent backup schedule significantly enhances your organization's resilience against ransomware attacks. By maintaining multiple recovery points, you can swiftly restore your files to their previous state, even if they are encrypted by malicious software. This consistent backup regimen, combined with the power of Volume Shadow Copy Service, provides an essential safeguard for your valuable data.

How to perform restoration of encrypted files?

When ransomware encrypts your files, ManageEngine Endpoint Central Anti-Ransomware quickly identifies the attack and issues the alert. The affected data is identified and the recovery process is initiated. Leveraging the frequent backups created every 3 hours, it restores the encrypted files with the most recent clean versions available within that timeframe. This ensures minimal data loss and accelerates the recovery process. By combining proactive backup creation with rapid restoration capabilities, ManageEngine Endpoint Central Anti-Ransomware empowers organizations to effectively mitigate the impact of ransomware attacks and safeguard their critical data.
