When hit with a ransomware attack, is it possible to basically reformat and restore from a clean backup?

After a ransomware attack, reformatting the system and restoring data from backups can be an effective way to recover the system and data, as long as the backups were not compromised by the attack. However, simply reformatting the system and restoring data may not completely resolve the issue if the initial vulnerability that allowed the ransomware to infect the system in the first place is not addressed. It’s important to update security measures, patch vulnerabilities, and educate users to prevent future attacks.
