Preserve Backup Option
Place an option in the backup manager to preserve or lock a backup from being overwritten. The setting to only keep a set number of backups in the system would ignore backups that are preserved or locked. Allowing you to exceed the number of backups allowed by the system. This is helpful if you benchmark a good backup at a particular time but want to go back later. Especially good for testing situations. Customers should have the ability to use this to block a particular backup from being removed from their account on their individual backups as well. Administrators would be able to override the client settings but a warning should appear reminding the admin to check with the client prior to deleting. When a client preserves or locks a backup it is copied out or kept separate from serverwide backups to allow serverwide backups to be deleted. If a administrator preserves or locks a serverwide backup the client would be unaffected. Backups should be tiered if they are not already and compartmentalized by client if not subscription or lowest level possible.

Unfortunately, we have to close your request, because over the years it has not become quite popular for further implementation.
