Once infected, you will be locked out from your own data, with no guarantee that your data can be retrieved even after paying the ransom. Take advantage of IDrive Snapshots feature to make sure that you can restore versions of the backed up files, to a time prior to infection.</p> <br> <h3>IDrive<sup>®</sup> Snapshots<sup style="color: #ff0000">*</sup></h3> <p>Snapshots are historical view of your data, stored in IDrive account, which allow you to perform point-in-time recovery. They are useful especially in case your systems were attacked by ransomware or other malicious software. </p> <p>If your data is infected with encryption-based ransomware, all you need to do is select a time-line before the infection and restore it. As IDrive is cross-platform compatible you can ensure all your PCs, Macs, and Linux computers are backed up and protected against these threats.</p> <p>The additional storage requirements for Snapshots has no impact on your IDrive account storage space.</p> <br> <h3>How far can I go back using Snapshots?</h3> <p>Snapshots uses the versioning feature of IDrive behind the scenes. IDrive now supports up to 30<sup style="color: #ff0000">**</sup> versions. The 'go back' period depends on the oldest version's time stamp.</p> <br> <h3>Steps to perform snapshot based restore</h3> <p>You can find the Snapshots feature under the Restore section in IDrive application. Easily restore a previous version of your backed up file by following these steps. </p> <ol> <li>Go to the 'Restore' tab and click 'Snapshots'.</li> <li>Select the date and time and click 'Submit'.
