The only immutable backup is offline and unpowered. There's a part of that process that cannot be automated.

If an automated network process makes your backup offline,
a network attack can bring it online.

If an automated network process can remove power to your backup,
a network attack can bring it online.

The only immutable backup is offline and unpowered. And no matter what the sales person tells you, that requires human intervention.

@fifonetworks I can imagine a device that takes backups offline & unpower in an irreversible way. But one can't build a secure solution that would have the reverse option.
@MichalBryxi Maybe a robot that takes it offline and puts it back online on a schedule ? Oh, wait a minute - that'd require a robot that wasn't connected to the Internet - and absolutely no one is making THAT.
