Vault’s Snapshot feature provides organisations with a robust defence against ransomware, a type of malware that prevents users from accessing their data, unless they pay a ‘Ransom.’ Using this feature, organisations are able to quickly recover from ransomware attacks.

Administrators can recover data in a Team Share or personal folder, as it existed at a specific point in time. This feature recovers content that was previously deleted, recreated, or changed, and maintains the full revision history of restored files.

Some advanced attacks - such as ‘Locky’ - may delete, duplicate, or change file names. This process usually irreversibly destroys a file’s revision history, preventing users from restoring a previous version. The Snapshot feature gives you the ability to restore files to exactly how they were before the ransomware infection.
