One of the steps in mitigation following a ransomware or other malware attack is to install your backups. This presumes that you do have a backup.
Many solutions are available to run backups on external hard drives, cloud, etc. For your phone, the cloud is also available, as is your computer.
It is essential to know the frequency with which you back up your files and operating system. Monthly, weekly, daily, or even hourly may be the best frequency for you, depending on how often you create or change your data.
We have all experienced the frustration of writing a document in Word only to have the power go out, the battery die, or some other issue cause the program to close, only to realize that we have not saved our work and it is all lost.
