How secure are my backups?

Current security systems fail to block Ramsonware. But nothing prevents us from using our wits.

Create a folder in the root of C (roller, for example)
It hosts a txt (roller.txt, for example).

Tell Duplicati to run this script before launching the backup.

@echo off

REM Place file path in variable to simplify comand lines.
SET Location=C:\roller

REM Use fully qualified file names in command.
IF NOT EXIST “%Location%\roller.txt” shutdown -s -t 60

If roller.txt has been encrypted by Ramsonware (not exist), the copy is denied and the machine shuts down.
Regards!!
