In some cases it can be more cost-effective to continue using older operating systems - but this doesn’t mean it's without any cost at all.
Ransomware is right up there as one of the worst types of malware your clients are likely to come across.
Not only is there the risk of being locked out of computer systems or important databases, but there's the additional risk of public backlash and damages to reputation.

As you'll have no doubt seen in the press - if the breach is large enough, ransomware attacks can easily become high-profile media events and the ransom demands can be incredibly tricky to manage.
If they do pay the ransom for their data, not only is it an admission of defeat, but it can also be a significant financial hit.
What's more, there's really no guarantee they’ll gain access to their systems again.
Once the scammers have their money, there isn’t anything but goodwill compelling them to return what was already taken.

BackupAssist 10.5.2 is now live.
This is a maintenance release for BackupAssist.
BackupAssist now supports Exchange Server 2019 when using the Exchange Granular Restore add-on to drill down into backups of exchange mailbox data, at this release Exchange 2019 RTM will be supported and will be brought into line with the current cumulative update early next year.
If you are looking for an efficient way to backup files, folders or application data to remote locations the BackupAssist Cloud Backup Engine is the ideal solution. Destination choices include the ability to use any WebDAV capable device, whether that is an on line hosting service, a WebDAV server or most commonly an offsite hosted NAS device.
Utilising the cloud to store backups is a great way to add a secure offsite location to your backup strategy.
Since the introduction of GDPR and related regulations an increasing number of BackupAssist customers are looking to tighten up security on their backups especially backups using the File Archiving engine by enabling encrypted zip backups.
To help meet these requirements the BackupAssist developers have increased the privacy of encrypted File Archiving backups in BackupAssist 10.4.
