Symantec Backup Exec Resource Credentials List Empty Exchange Restore to Different Hardware
Problem: I encountered a problem while restoring a Microsoft Exchange server to a different server. After restoring the majority of mailboxes, one restore failed with an access denied error. When I tried to re-run the job I noticed the resource credentials list was now empty and the options were all greyed out for changing, clearing and testing the credentials.
RansomWare-This type of virus is one that is typically distributed through a fake email claiming to have a greeting, card, invoice, check, PO, or something of the sort attached. It can also be published as a fake adobe or java update.

Basically if you don’t have backup, you have likely lost all of your files. In some iterations it is even smart enough to remove previous versions saved by Windows using VSS so that you can’t simply restore them to yesterday. In 95% of cases, you better have a good backup, I prefer Crashplan, I feel like it is the best backup solution on the market and is very very inexpensive. I have it on every device I own.
