How to prevent deletion of expired files?

I can only retain two weeks of data as it is. We are having issues this week and I may have to go back two weeks to recover files but those files will expired tomorrow. How can I prenvent this from happening?
Please note that I am manually stopping backups from happening every night as well for now so space is not an issue. Can I put on hold all future backups until I resolve my issues?
Thank you in advance

You can choose to "Retain" the desired backup set. Have a look at this KB article on how to do so -

Thank you.

One question though. I cannot have more than two weeks of backups(space issue). My plan is to not have that backup to expire and put it in another location, in case I need to restore missing files from this week. If I do so, will I then be able to delete that same backup from my NAS so I can start running again my two weeks of backups?
