If WannaCry makes you want to cry…
Recovering from a data-loss disaster is easy. Make sure you have a working, off-site backup and follow the steps below.
The WannaCry disaster has re-emphasized the importance of off-site backups.
Don’t despair. Every time you work in DynamicLTA, it automatically makes a backup of the data file to an internal backup folder.
In the example above, the old installation runs from the “fastcar” folder. In normal conditions the “fastcar/database” folder is all you need to recover.
Simply perform a new DynamicLTA installation as discussed elsewhere.
Once the nex installation is complete, copy the content of the old “fastcar/database” folder from your backup into the new “manhatten/database” folder. The system should be operational immediately.
Do not rely on the internal backup mechanisms of DynamicLTA to survive a disaster. It is designed as an internal safety feature. When your entire computer is compromised by malicious activity such as a ransomware attack, you need a clear, accurate backup procedure.
Make sure you have backups in place before you need them.
