Automatically stop backup schedule when files are crypted
Hello Acronis Community,
I have a customer who is interested in backup and restore capabilities of Cyber Protect Cloud but he has already been deploying another solution for anti-malware and anti-ransomware protection. I have got a question from him saying if the anti-ransomware protection failed to detect a ransomware attack which caused the encryption of files how to prevent the backup agent to perform a new backup after this incident as regularly scheduled because the new ones when created may result in the deletion of old healthy backups according to the retention policy. Is there any configuration that should be done so the agent would not start the backup? or is the agent itself able to detect that files are encrypted so it would not start the backup ? or shall I rely on anti-ransomware protection of Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud so there's no way to keep ransomware attacks undetected and files being encrypted?
