You meant "how do I prevent users' access to backups"?
Filesystem permissions on NFS server solve it for me.
Ordinary user has no business both reading or $DEITY forbid, writing to
backups.
Or you meant "how do I prevent a backup user from overwriting old
backups"?
An incron script that moves completed (as in "file closed") backup to a
different directory.
