B. Keep some generation of off-line backup is the best countermeasure to encrypting ransomware. Offline backups allow you to restore data without paying the ransom
Ransomware nowadays has two extorsion ways, to crypt data and to ask for money (bitcoins), and to threaten with release the data on internet/deep web and to ask for money (example egregor, netwalker). The only recovery safe way is an offline backup.
Ransomware is a malicious way to encrypt and steal valuable information to a company which can cripple them financially. It's always a best practice to ensure you have backups stored off the network or inaccessible from other devices to prevent all your data from being attacked.
