Bitcoin has gone up 10% in a week, depends what you mean by "Crypto protection"

I laughed when bitcoin appeared on the scene...
Anyway maybe I should have phrased my question better.
We do backups and phishing tests etc.
If we are hit with a ransomware scenario and our only option is to pay up or do full bare metal recoveries, what would want to do this recovery from?
Off site tape or offsite disk.
I am thinking tape may be the best option but also reading that Data Domain has built in protection (IE retention locking and file ext blacklisting)
Any views or experience?

Do either tape backups or Azure backups. Don't depend on onsite protections only
You can read crypto protection as against (a)crypto ransomware and (b)cryptojacking miner.
(a)there is good practice shared. One instance is using the 3-2-1-1 Rule. Short of it is backup is the most assured means and importantly verified for working backup data

(b)not as straightforward as resources at system is held up persistently, crypto mining traffic can be very difficult to distinguish from other types of communications. So needed some baseline of the norm to differentiate between anomalies.

For both user education is paramount for vigilance

Which is faster for you? Takes or disk? What kind of data are you recovering? Do you have some onsite, disconnected backup?
Backups are the best way to take control of your defense against threats, but they need protecting as well. Here are few recommendations:
Be careful using network file servers and online sharing services.
Get visibility into your backup process.
Regularly test your recovery process.
Also you must make sure your backup has versioning.
