Veeam has a dedicated team for cyber attacks. I recommend to contact Support and ask for help.

@MatzeB is spot on here, leverage the Veeam resources that are some of the most experienced in the world at dealing with ransomware.

 

I’m just commenting here to also add a note of caution: you’ll no doubt see websites on the internet talking about FOG decryption tools. Take a backup/copy of any files you’re about to run through a decryption tool. Decryption tools modify the file you put in, they don’t make an unencrypted copy, this means that if a decryption tool corrupts your data, you could make it unrecoverable. If you have to work with decryption tools instead of recovering from good, clean backups, slow & steady. This is one example of the advice that Veeam’s incident response will steer you right with.

​Yes contact the Veeam Swat team throw the support. Like @MicoolPaul said don’t play with your original backup files. 

Also you could ask help to your National Agency for Information Systems Security

Hi@lincolnbiz 

 

The encryption of .VBK by FOG ransomware is a serious issue and there is no universal decryption tool available at the moment your best immediate action is to contact Veeam support for assistance.

Reach out to Veeam, and any other vendors/products effected. I’ve seen amazing work from server and storage companies assisting to get people back on their feet.
