not sure I follow, the backup runs to a "local disk iscsi target" then replicates offsite- - but I'm assuming (God forbid) ransomware hits the host then it would also encrypt the "local iscsi disk" -

This seems very likely to fail in some way, shape, or form at some point.

We do also have it offsite, however, I'd much rather restore 6tb locally than over the wire. Any thoughts feedback are greatly appreciated
