Me and @C Pav were talking about backups, and I thought I would post for those of you who might be interested. I really like this new type of backup protection. For those who don't know what this protection does, here is a rundown:
WORM (Write Once, Read Many)
is a data storage technology that guarantees data, once written, cannot be modified, overwritten, or deleted for a specified period.
This came about during the Ransomware days, when an attacker would encrypt your data and then hold it for ransom until payment, usually in Bitcoin. What's great about this is that even if your system is compromised, the attacker cannot delete the backup data or influence it until the set day/time limit is reached. There are a few Cloud services that use this: Synology C2, Backblaze B2, Wasabi, along with bigger Cloud providers. There are NAS devices that support this as well. Synology does (only on certain models). Anyways, I will leave a link below, but if you're an IT guy for a business or a home user as well, it's an extra layer of protection.
Synology:

Even if you can't use true WORM protection, you can still use Synology's Snapshot Replication.
