I just starting to enter the realm of using snapshots after having to restore from a offline back following a ransomware attack.
My question is, 12 months down the line if I need to delete all snapshots, as a broad example would it delete data from the drive which was subsequently added since snapshots were created?
Also when a snapshot is deleted does it free up the data being used by that snapshot?
I know it sounds like a noob question, but I have only just moved over from XigmaNAS and are still finding my way.
Also is there any advice anyone could give to prevent further ransomware breaches? I've done the obvious such as using snapshots, but have also enabled 2FA, disabled all services not being used including SSH.
Any help would be appreciated.
