Luckily, it has an option exactly for file backups, sparing you the trouble of doing it on your own. It's also necessary to launch the tool with administrative privileges, in order to avoid any permission errors.

In the following step, you can insert the test path and start the scan with a single click. Next, the utility attempts to find the encrypt key and use it to decrypt your files that were unlocked with LockCrypt. Log details are automatically generated in a file called "BitdefenderLog.txt", located at %temp%\BDRemovalTool\BDRansomDecryptor\.

Files locked with this ransomware usually have the .1btc, .lock, .2018, .bi_d or .mich extensions. Also, the ransom instructions are typically left in plain text documents called "ReadMe.txt", "Restore Files.txt" or "How To Restore Files.txt".
