Thanks.  
I think about the system when all files in backup are made locked/unchangeable/writeonce after some period so that intruder could not delete them.  
Would such a system be tolerant to deletion of the files which were not yet locked if i made backups with  
`--no-auto-compact` `--keep-versions=0`  
keys as it was [proposed](https://forum.duplicati.com/t/is-backup-on-lto-possible-with-duplicati/912) for LTO archives?
