[QUOTE="danb, post: 938846, member: 62850"] After 77 days of development, DD is pretty much ready. It is a standard backup app with a few unique features. Eventually we will add support for cloud backup, cloning, SQL backup, etc, but we are off to a great start. In addition to the backup component, there is also what I believe to be a unique method for detecting ransomware. In a few days we will release a DD beta and I will explain how the anti-ransom mechanism works. If there is a similar ransomware detection mechanism on the market, please let me know (this is important). The one thing I can tell you at this point is that it is nothing like Controlled Folder Access, or any of the anti-ransom mechanisms that grant or deny specific individual applications access to user data files. Tech like this is pretty cool, but it is extremely difficult to use and I would think would be quite easy to bypass (just a guess). When it comes to ransomware, I believe detecting encryption relatively quickly and reliably is key. In other words, back ups are great, but if you have to restore half or all of your data, it can easily turn into a real mess. [MEDIA=youtube]e-U9t1uX-kk[/MEDIA] [/QUOTE]
