Restoring Server Data

Scenarios

If ransomware backup is enabled for a server, and the server is intruded by ransomware, you can use the backup to restore the server data and minimize losses. Before using the backup for server restoration, check whether the backup is normal. If it is, use it to restore service-critical systems first.

Prerequisites

The backup function has been enabled. For details, see Enabling Backup.
