Restore points/Shadow copies removed after running

(1/2) > >>

Rodj:
I am so mad, My laptop got the CTB locker. I removed it, I still had restore points and SVC's, and I was going to use ShadowExplorer to recover the files. I was going to use the tweak tool first to fix all of the problems I had on my laptop. And then when the fixing was over, I realized ALL of my Restore Points and SVC's were missing. Bye bye pictures that I took that were only on my laptop and text documents that were VERY important  :cry:. I am now going to have to REINSTALL all of my games that had textures and data encrypted and start ALL over again :angry:. Is there ANY way I can get back the restore points and/or SVC's?

Boggin:
Removing restore points is the first defence of any infection, so they are gone.

The only sure way to counter any ransom ware is to create system images to external media and if you have pictures and important docs on any machine, it's imperative that you have external back ups as you could lose all of those anyway in the case of HDD failure.

This looks like a lesson learned the hard way.

Type in the following command into the prompt:

    vssadmin list shadowstorage

what does it say?

To change the maximum size on the disk that System Restore will use, you will need to type in the following command:

    vssadmin Resize ShadowStorage /For=C: /On=C: /Maxsize=10GB

You can change the /for and /on to match the drive that System Restore is enabled on, and you can set a different size for the max size. I chose 10GB

ask yourself this, could you trust them anyway with any type of infection?

No, I had it even after removing it, They disappeared after using the tweaking program.
