[QUOTE="cruelsister, post: 611282, member: 7463"] If I can make a suggestion- concentrate first on stopping ransomware before thinking about a Server version. In a fast run through of your product I found the Backup/Restore functionality to be very good. In addition to the default protection afforded, the ability to add other file types as well as the ease in adding other directories for protection is well done. Also, the restore process is, although not automatic, is quite easy to understand and implement. However one must not lose sight that this at first an Anti-Ransomware application, and so it is important to differentiate it from well established backup/restore programs like Macrium. Personally I would rather restore a system that is ransomware infected by Macrium than to go to the trouble of: a. restoring trashed files with Ranstop, then b. using a third party security application to remove any ransomware with persistence functionality, c. and then cleaning up the trashed files. And this is assuming that the ransomware was not Fortress class and also trashed my Office applications which may or may not have been protected. The point of the above is that I found that bypassing Ranstop was a rather trivial matter and this must be fixed soonest. I would have done a video on the above findings but I'm out of town.
