Raspberry Pi does make a lot of sense. It's cheap enough, small, and doesn't consume much power so it's easy to have one around for this purpose.

- analog31 12y agoSince I got a couple of RPi's for fun, I've been thinking of uses for them, that would augment the security of my regular Windows PCs. I've set up a file backup method, where the RPi "pulls" files from my PC via my home network, but does not grant the PC read or write access. This is all just garden variety Linux commands, mounting the Windows share, and copying files from it. I think that my method is immune to "ransom ware" attacks. To cloak itself, the ransom-ware has to decrypt files when they are fetched, until it decides to lock you out.
