From the Reddit article linked above [1]:

"Backup solutions like Carbonite are no good against this as they will commit the encrypted files to the cloud."

You need "cold" backups to get around this without paying.

Backblaze maintains previous versions of files on a rolling basis of 4 week window. This includes deleted files.

I do not work for backblaze, but I am a happy user.

I was under the impression that Crashplan's backups included limited versioning?

They do. I wouldn't even call them limited. They're pretty extensive, up to and including never remove deleted files.

I'm assuming that Carbonite doesn't have a Dropbox-like version retention system? Or does this virus get around that?
