So what happens if your ransomware scenario occurs while the backup is running? 
That invalidates all your backups at that point as well.

Perhaps I'm thinking of something else but all the backup toolsets I've worked 
with all push the data over the network to a central system that interacts with 
the backend storage/media.

Thanks,
Brian

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" -

Wouldn't your backup tool be responsible for doing this? This seems very likely 
to fail in some way, shape, or form at some point.

Subject: [NTSysADM] scheduling iSCSI connections



Is it possible to schedule iSCSI connections  (connect at 11pm, disconnect 6 am)



We currently backup our hyper-v guests to our NAS which is presented to the 
host via iSCSI,



The goal is  to achieve the equivalent  of ejecting a tape after backup is 
complete, in case of a ransomware infection.



We do also have it offsite, however, I'd much rather restore 6tb locally than 
over the wire.



Any thoughts feedback are greatly appreciated
