Create option in terraform for keep backups after destruction

I saw that a feature was released to keep the backups of a cluster even if it was terminated. Basically the idea is to add a bool in terraform that does the work of activating or deactivating this feature, because whoever destroys the cluster using terraform does not have the option to keep the backup.

    Backup Compliance Policy was released with v1.9.0 and Retain Backup flag is available in mongodbatlas_cluster and mongodbatlas_advanced_cluster in v1.10.0. Thank you for the feedback.

    Hi Samuel, if you are referring to Backup Compliance Policy (https://www.mongodb.com/docs/atlas/backup/cloud-backup/backup-compliance-policy/#configure-a-backup-compliance-policy) then yes this on our roadmap and should be released in a few weeks with v1.9.0 of our Provider to the Terraform Public Registry. Hope this helps.
