Backups are also subject to ransomware attack unless you store it on WORM storage. I doubt DVDs and BDs are popular these days for storing backups.

Our backups (images and data) are stored on external drives that are normally disconnected and powered down. Ransomware cannot get to them. I also use DVDs for very critical data (such as password files, encryption certificates and financial info). This data fits comfortably on a DVD or USB stick. I keep more than one copy to cover potential failures.

I got this at work last week and again at home yesterday. Both times as soon as I closed the automated message window with voiceover a pr0n pic opened. I closed and I ran a scan and found noting.

I wish I would have read this before 3:01 AM CDT yesterday. Apparently that's when my main data drive for my home/office server failed. I do remember waking up and hearing a constant clicking sound, but convinced myself that it was a ceiling fan. Three hours later when I got up, I realized that the noise was coming from my office.
I felt like an idiot when I realized the last full backup I can find was 3 years old! 
It will take a long time to get things back to 'normal'. I've already spent hours re-installing sql server and fighting with reporting services to get it back up and running.
I'm considering sending the drive off to a data recovery service, depending on cost. It's going to be another long day!

There has been a lot of this going on today. Even Griff once called me Shirley.
Here[^] is someone who does not like this at all, plus some support from Leslie himself.

Why do I feel the urge to reach out with my hand and say something like 'I find your lack of faith disturbing'?

CDP1802 might be tricky for you to remember, but it's his initials and birth year, so it's easy for him.

We ultimately have two choices:
1) Do something*
2) Do nothing
*1 - posting to {insert favourite blog/social media site} isn't actually "doing something" 
Now is it bad enough that you let somebody else kick your butts without you trying to do it to each other? Now if we're all talking about the same man, and I think we are... it appears he's got a rather growing collection of our bikes.

They might make people feel better but it hardly deals with the underlying causes does it? It's like taking a painkiller for cancer.
Doing nothing pretty much guarantees more suffering to come.

Hell yeah! This made my day! 
Such an awesome album! \m/  \m/
Back on the subject, gathering likes may look like it does nothing (and maybe it really doesn't), but I've always seen it as some kind of advertising. Maybe people will come across a post and actually take action. In that case "just" sharing did make a difference
