My SO got hit a few years ago, and she noticed right away that something
was amiss. She called me over and I saw what was happening and managed
to pull the plug before it went very far. She lost a "gob" of pictures,
but was able to save almost everything else.
We pulled the HD from her machine, and removed all that was salvageable,
then scrubbed & rebuilt.

A company I worked with got hit. They paid. No way around it.
The bad guys were very easy to work with and made it easy to pay and
they totally restored everything, but there is no way around it.
Off site, air gapped backup is the only thing I know of that will 100%
protect you.
