I use a Kinston Hyper X 64 GB thumb drive and do an incremental backup once or twice a day, takes a couple minutes at the most. I don't have a lot of photos, so 64 GB is more than I need. Also periodically clone the HD. With that combination, I can recover in a few minutes. Also have a back up of the same PC model, and can swap the SSD into it if my PC dies.

A word of advice to anybody with a computer or a few. Treat the computer as a disposable device. Have a storage area network (SAN) device with RAID 1 or 5 redundancy. I have a 6 terabyte cloud an a 2 terabyte on a private network, but most non IT folks probably could suffice with much less. Any software you install on any computer on your network should have full install backups on the SAN along with a text file of the license keys. Any documents, working files, backups, data, etc goes to the SAN, not the computer itself. Things that are static (meaning they are archives that will never change) set to read-only and create a redundant backup on a cheap portable hard drive encryped and kept in a car or safety deposit box off site. That includes financial stuff, pictures, music, and wrk stuff. If a computer gets hijacked or fails, you lose nothing. If my house were to get blown away by a hurricane, I would be able to recover every client, intelectual property, picture, mp3, and data I have ever saved witin hours of buying a new laptop.Paranoia is good and the geeks shall inherit the earth!

I swear by Carbonite. The IT staff stripped out the computer & then installed the Carbonite Backup. Took about 2 hrs., as I remember. No problems since. As long as you have a good back-up, you can clean out your computer.

This may be a little different because it is not a virus etc. It just encrypts your files and asks for $400 to release them. Your anti-virus software may not recognize it.

I have been getting this crap for over a year, a few times a week. They do look real.
General rule don't open anything, even from someone you know, if there is not a personal message to you that makes sense.
If you send me a photo and just say "wow look at this car." I will not open it.

There are emails going out that say there was an attempted delivery and you have to download and open a file to reschedule. If you do, the file will encrypt files on your PC, and you will get a message that you have to pay about $400 to recover your files.
We received three of these this morning.
