My preference is a new, rotating snapshot locally every day for at
least one weeks worth and weekly snapshots on a remote server for at
least 3 months worth. I'm less concerned about the OS than data and
network setup.<br>
<br>
That's saved me a couple of times. About 2 years ago we got hit by
ransomeware near the end of the day. I was up and running by
midnight and that included testing that everything restored
properly, was working, and reindexing certain Filepro indexes which
were the only things affected. (The ransom-ware focused on files
with specific extensions in order to do as much damage as quickly as
possible. Filepro Key and Data files have no extensions so they
were left unharmed which meant that the work from that day was
unaffected and just required the index rebuilds.)<br>
