Re: Offline Backups for Ransomware Protection

["Powell, Andy" <ap16 () WILLIAMS EDU>]

Hi Jeremy,

  I had set my sights on "old-school" offline backups as well, until I
learned about immutable backups. We're currently working with Backblaze and
Wasabi in this regard, but there are other vendors out there.

  I'd strongly suggest this approach, as offline is just too much (both in
dollar cost and in management overhead) to swallow.
