How to Protect Recovery Copies From Being Encrypted Along With Production

Backups mounted with production credentials or reachable through the same control plane can be affected by a production compromise.

Checks to make

Separate backup administration and credentials, restrict deletion rights, use offline or immutable copies where appropriate, and monitor access. Test restoration from a protected copy using isolated credentials and document recovery dependencies.
