Case Study: Your IT Guy achieves rapid ransomware recovery and uninterrupted vacation with Datto
A Datto Case Study
Merry CryptoLocker Datto Saves the Vacation
Your IT Guy, a small IT services firm owned by Don Beller, faced a sudden crisis while Beller was on vacation: a national landscape architecture client 1,500 miles away had clicked a malicious email and contracted CryptoLocker ransomware that encrypted network files, a situation that typically leaves businesses with only the option to pay a ransom if no reliable backups exist.
Because the client used Datto’s backup solution, Beller remotely deleted the infected files, mounted a clean restore point and restored the data from Datto’s inverse-chain backups; the recovery took about an hour, avoided paying a ransom, caused minimal downtime, and let Beller finish his vacation — demonstrating Datto’s ease of use and dependable partner support.
