Hello, first of all I would like to congratulate all the founders of this project I am a big fan and restic admirer! :risonho:
Because of you I started to study Golang :ligeiramente_smiling_face:
At first I found the lack of a GUI, but I easily got used to the easy use via CLI (thanks to good documentation) and realized the restic power using scripts bash (linux) or bat / powershell (windows).
I have a question, but first I think it useful to imagine the following scenario:
I made 5 daily backups of the “c:\my-data” folder (using restic) on the following dates:
January 1, 2018
January 2 2018
January 3, 2018
January 4, 2018
January 05 2018
On day 4, after restic completing the backup of this day, the computer was infected by ransoware which encrypted all data from the “c:\my-data” folder.
On day 05 the restic made a new backup creating for this day a snapshot / backup with the files infected / encrypted, that is, the restic on this day 05 again copied all the files to the repository as if it were the first complete backup, since all the files have been changed (encrypted).
My doubt is:
Will this backup done on May 5 affect the backups that were done on days 1, 2, 3, and 4, ie backups made prior to file infection?
Or does the restic keep the backups of days 1, 2, 3, and 4 saved, and so only the day 05 backup was compromised?
Thanks to all who can help!
