How to Recover Files When a Backup Job Ran During a Ransomware Event

11/10/2026

A backup created during an incident may contain encrypted files or may have been altered by an attacker.

Checks to make

Determine incident timing and backup integrity, protect recovery copies from further change, and select a clean point before compromise. Restore to isolation, scan and validate data, and reconnect only after the incident team confirms containment.
