Abstract

In the face of ransomware attacks, which can be increasingly difficult to effectively prevent, a solution can be considered to be the minimization of the cost and time taken to recover data and, hence business activities. Embodiments perform a restore operation that include automatically identifying the most recent healthy backup, from which data should be restored, and the prioritizing of the order in which data should be restored.
