A client of mine has been hit with a ransomware virus for the second time now in the last few months.
I have restored their virtual hard drive backup and mounted it to their server and would love to be able to just overwrite all of the encrypted files with backup copies from the backup.
Sadly though the ransomware attack happened 3 weeks ago and they have only just noticed it. So overwriting files could overwrite ones that have been edited since then.
I therefore have the task of manually matching up the encrypted files which now end with a .cry extension, with the original files from the backup.
I am wondering if there is someway of using Beyond Compare to match the files which have different file extensions but same names and overwriting the encrypted files with their originals.
Thanks in advance
