Hey Guillermo, thanks for the reply... How do you archive your backups?
WHat I was thinking was simply moving/renaming the current backup set and making the dir immutable to prevent ransomware from getting to it. Then start from scratch again, but leave that one for 6 months then do the same thing again but deleting the older immutable copy. Thanks and of course , have a great day!
