Hello- We got attacked by ransomware. I would like to restore the files from a backup to Volume A and then restore from A to Volume B, where most files are encrypted (no we are not paying the ransom). I would like Vol A files to overwrite their encrypted counterparts in Volume B. What would be the best strategy to do this? Thanks for your help!

Hi, sorry to hear you were attacked by Ransomware.

ViceVersa makes a mirror copy of all the files, so you could just copy the files back over the encrypted ones.

However make sure the ransomware is 100% gone before restoring the good files to avoid further infection.

I would also keep an extra copy of the good un-encrypted files offline or on non-writable media.
