Is there a way to mark a backup point (in this case, it's an incremental) so that the backup (and all backups it depends on) are preeminently retained?

e.g. for a server that's failed or been decommissioned?

I may have already done so by disabling backups with $Conf{BackupsDisable} = 0;

"Disable all full and incremental backups. These settings are useful for a client that is no longer being backed up (eg: a retired machine), but you wish to keep the last backups available for browsing or restoring to other machines."

Sounds like that does what I'm looking for, and I just skimmed over the part about "keep the last backups available". I'm interpreting this as it'll retain all existing backups. Could anybody confirm?
