Does a Proxmox ZFS Cluster adds a security against ransomware?

[Partake5177]

Hi everyone,

this topic is maybe a bit off-topic here:

I am currently investigating in deploying a ZFS Proxmox cluster (2 nodes, 1 quorum device) in our company.

When watching countless videos and reading lot of informations about proxmox.
Somewhere in my brain I did store the information that a ZFS cluster can help to protect from ransomware. There might be a change that an encrypted node does not get replicated.

I tried to find the source of this information but I was not able to find any information regarding this topic...
So I am trying to find an answer here in this forum.

Someone here having some information for me?
It could also be that this information was wrong (or maybe I did dream about it?)
