Ransomware makes its way into computer systems through the network, infecting and encrypting the data stored on them. During the next backup, this data is then backed up to disk, the NAS, or the cloud.

If an infected system needs to be restored, recovery will naturally fail because the backup set has also been infected.

Important to know: Ransomware also targets existing backups!
