A single user’s laptop at a large pharmaceutical company was infected with . This malware encrypts the user’s files and withholds the encryption key until you pay the ransom amount. The laptop was connected to the corporate network which allowed the malware to infect a CIFS volume which was set up as a file share on a FAS. The malware was able to infiltrate the file share and encrypt the majority of the files.

The customer brought their 46 drives into our lab for evaluation and Ontrack engineers got to work on a solution. The engineering team from Ontrack:

■ Virtually rebuilt the RAID groups which were strewn across 10 different shelves

■ Virtually rebuilt the aggregate

■ Virtually rebuilt the critical volume

Leveraging NetApp’s proprietary OS (OnTap) and file system (WAFL), Ontrack engineers used multiple consistency points to “walk back” in time to find and merge unencrypted copies of the critical data to return to the customer. This type of recovery is only possible on storage like NetApp’s FAS because of the way the data is stored on the volume. https://bit.ly/3o8FZbT
