a) Why are you posting this in the VPS support and help forum when it IS ABSOLUTELY NOT related to issues with your VPS?
b) A solution to this problem? There is no solution to this problem, yet. You have no backups? Too bad. The latest iterations of WannaCry have not been taken down so far.... which means that there is no decryption key available to help out people who are affected.
If you can backup all encrypted files to a spare HDD and keep it stored somewhere. Meanwhile reinstall all affected systems. Hope for a tool or key to be released when WannaCry gets taken down and when that happens (maybe in some years) you might be able to decrypt your files.
RL fact: The company I work for has been hit by Emotet/Trickbot and the latest iteration of WannaCry. There is no real way out. Whole domain infrastructure that was built over several years was destroyed. We had to rebuild everything and lost a lot of files that were needed for people to work. Atleast the company now pays a bit more attention to what we say and has granted us funds for a proper offline tape backup infrastructure and a 10 GbE backup network infrastructure.
