[QUOTE="hjlbx, post: 501582"] You cannot prevent it. If you exclude backups - and any objects in that excluded path that are targeted by ransomware - then they will be encrypted. Any excluded file paths are subject to malicious actions. This is one of the inconveniences of booting into and staying in Shadow Mode all the time and trying to use local external backup drive. * * * * * One workaround is to use cloud backup - but you have to make sure that it keeps prior versions. Another is to use Secure Folders or similar folder-restriction software and allow only Acronis to access\write to Disk D - but I am not completely sure if this would work. I would ask [USER=178]@Umbra[/USER] about this one. [/QUOTE]
