Abstract
One method includes monitoring a ransomware risk measure, when the ransomware risk measure indicates the presence of a suspected ransomware process, determining if it is time to overwrite a snapshot stored in backup data storage, and when it is time to overwrite the snapshot, moving the snapshot from the backup data storage to a vault to free space in the backup data storage for new snapshots that continue to be taken after the presence of suspected ransomware is indicated.
