If you create an anti-ransomware policy for your server and the data of your server is encrypted by ransomware, you can create a restoration task to restore the encrypted data. This reduces your loss. This topic describes how to create a restoration task, view the task status, and delete backup data.
Prerequisites
The status of the Security Center agent that is installed on your server is normal. If the
icon is displayed in the Agent column for the server on the Host page, the status of the Security Center agent on the server is normal. An anti-ransomware policy is created for the server. The anti-ransomware policy is applied to the server, and the data of the server is backed up based on the policy.
Log on to the Security Center console. In the top navigation bar, select the region of the asset that you want to manage. The following regions are supported: China and Outside China.
In the left-side navigation pane, choose .
In the Anti-ransomware for Servers section of the page that appears, click the number below Recoverable Data Versions to go to the Recoverable Data Versions panel.
In the panel that appears, select the region in which the server resides or enter the server name or server IP address to search for the versions of backup data of your server.
Procedure
Log on to the Security Center console. In the top navigation bar, select the region of the asset that you want to manage. The following regions are supported: China and Outside China.
In the left-side navigation pane, choose .
In the anti-ransomware policy list of the Anti-ransomware for Servers tab, find the server on which you want to create the restoration task.
To search for the server, you can enter the name of an anti-ransomware policy that is applied to the server or the server name in the search box above the anti-ransomware policy list.
Click Restore in the Actions column of the required server.
In the Create Restoration Task panel, configure the following parameters: Select a restored version, Select a restore file, Recovery directory address, and Recovery target machine.
Click OK.
After the restoration task is created, the Restoration task created. message is displayed. You can log on to the server to view the restored data.
What to do next
View information about a restoration task
In the Overview of Anti-ransomware for Servers section, click the number below Restoring/Restoration Records to go to the Restoration Task panel. You can view information about each restoration task. The information includes the status of the restoration task, the total number of restored files, and the number of files that fail to be restored. If a restoration task fails, you can view the causes of the failure. If the restoration task fails due to an invalid directory, you must recreate a restoration task to restore data.
Delete backup data
ImportantDeleted backup data cannot be restored. Proceed with caution.
After you delete backup data, the server capacity is released after 24 to 72 hours.
You cannot directly delete the latest version of backup data. If you want to delete the latest version of backup data, uninstall the anti-ransomware agent from your server and delete the server to which the anti-ransomware policy is applied.
If you no longer require the backup data of a server, you can delete the backup data. In the Overview of Anti-ransomware for Servers section of the Anti-ransomware page, click the number below Recoverable Data Versions to go to the Recoverable Data Versions panel. In the list of the versions of backup data, find a version that you want to delete and click Delete in the Actions column. After the backup data is deleted, the server capacity is released.
