I built a "airgap" solution. Our backups run Sunday morning at 1AM. Sunday morning at 12:30AM, our mikrotik router enables the 10G port going to the backup hard-drive array. Sunday night at 11:55PM, the mikrotik router disables the 10G port going to the backup hard-drive array.
This way, the backups are "offline" except for Sunday. My rationale is that we are most likely to click on a ransomware link/email during the week. So long as we don't do it Sunday during the "backup period", things should be gravy.

Just backing up to a remote storage disk isn't enough anymore, since as long as it's connectable from the machine, it can get locked too. I only have a couple Standalone ESXi servers, and a handful of physical machines. Probably <10tb max across everything. One of the cloud providers like Backblaze would be the simplest, start the software and just let it run. Is there a local NAS that would do something similar without breaking the bank, or taking hours to configure? Just curios what the new 'best practice' backup policy is. -- AF mailing list AF@af.afmug.com http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com -- AF mailing list AF@af.afmug.com http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com
