They always say when discussing ransomware to disconnect your backup from y=
our PC (ie an air gap), but to me it don't make sense why.  Suppose you mir=
ror your C: drive to your D: drive, how is that image file going to be infe=
cted by ransomware?  Can't you just wipe the C: drive, then reinstall the i=
mage from the D: drive to get back to a point before the ransomware infecte=
d your system?

As a precaution, I do backup to a USB drive as well, but I don't know why t=
hey suggest doing this.
