How to Protect Backups From Accidental Deletion by Administrators

Backups controlled by the same accounts and systems as production can be deleted during mistakes or account compromise.

Checks to make

Separate backup administration from production access, require strong authentication and approval for destructive actions, use immutable retention where appropriate, and alert on policy changes. Test recovery permissions as well as data restoration.
