Encrypting your backups stops thieves. It does nothing against ransomware. You confused the two.
Ransomware doesn't read your backups, it deletes or encrypts them. Your AES-256 means nothing when the attacker just overwrites the bucket.
What stops them is immutability: object-lock, WORM, append-only repos with a key the server can't revoke.
— Encryption: confidentiality, useless vs deletion
— Immutability: the only thing that survives ransomware
Encrypt AND lock. But if you only did one, you picked the wrong one. Fight me.
