I'm new to FreeNAS and considering it very seriously as the file system of choice due to it's ability to create snapshots and replicate them offsite. The snapshots are a great way to protect against cryptoviruses on the local network (barring an root compromise on the FreeNas obviously) that could delete my snapshots
So my question is. If my local FreeNAS was root compromised by something sitting on my network that captures my root credentials and I've setup remote snapshot replication to a remote FreeNAS, does the local root access give enough access to the remote Freenas to destroy the backup?
What happens if my pool was destoryed, am I still able to recover the remote snapshots back into a new recreated pool?
