According to the article below a backup from SuperDuper would be susceptible to ransomware encryption. In other words, if you were infected with ransomware, the SuperDuper backup probably would not help you.

The article suggests cloud-hosted backups, but I do not wish to use anything cloud based, unless it is my own cloud (example, NAS).
What is the best way to make my SuperDuper backup not susceptible to ransomware? I have a Synology DS216 private cloud. If I somehow stored a copy of my SuperDuper backup on it, wouldn't that make it secure from ransomware?
