NOTE: when systems are breached for ransomware, backups are often 
corrupted as well... best to push to a resource, and have another 
separate system pull backups, then sort/store by date-time.

By having a disconnected system pulling backups from a common source, 
corrupted archives will not break existing pulled archives on the 
separate system.  It also helps to do these things across providers.

FWIW...
