Was reading the news about that newest ransomware thing going around and thought...crap. If my media pool (100TB) got encrypted entirely, I'd be screwed. You just can't back up 100TB anywhere.
In fact, I went Drivepool with duplication so I didn't have to worry about backup since if a drive fails, I have duplicates on the pool.
My question is, let's assume all files in a particular directory were encrypted by a ransomware.
1. Would drivepool duplicate that encryption? Meaning, would both copies of a movie now be encrypted?
2. If not, how would I go through, painfully, and find all the unencrypted duplicates? The only time I see the hidden "copytemp" is when my overclock fails and it gets interrupted.
3. If drivepool is susceptible to this - it might be a neat feature to add in (if possible) - this ransomware stuff is getting out of hand.

Drashna, got an academic question for you.
