by your environment; you can always reduce it if you find it is unnecessarily
high, but you cannot recreate backups once they have been removed.
[[vzdump_protection]]
Backup Protection
-----------------
You can mark a backup as `protected` to prevent its removal. Attempting to
remove a protected backup via {pve}'s UI or API will fail. However, manual
removal of a backup file via CLI is still possible. Protected backups are
ignored by pruning and do not count towards the retention settings.
For filesystem-based storages, the protection is implemented via a sentinel file
`<backup-name>.protected`. For Proxmox Backup Server, it is handled on the
server side.
