Please audit my server lockdown method (ransomware)

The #1 protection is, of course, a complete backup that's entirely off-line => with NO chance of an exploit.

 

In my case, that's the backups I keep in my data-proof safe; but I also feel my backup server's contents are VERY secure as well, since it's OFF except during the actual process of backing up.  Of course if it turned on and did a backup of already-corrupted files, THAT would be an issue ... but every case of ransomware I'm aware of renames the files as it encrypts them => so even in that case I'd probably just have a complete set of both the encrypted files and the original files.
