BitLocker? Also, what about cloud backup? Lastly, if you move all of your files to the cloud, the malware is screwed. I put all my stuff into Google Drive and then encrypted them there.

CryptoLocker, for those who don't recognize the name, is a category or ransom-ware. If it gets into your computer it starts encrypting files on whatever drives it can find. After it's done (and it can take a few days), you get a message that demands payment in BitCoin of anywhere from $300 to $1000 dollars within 3 to 5 days. If you don't pay, you don't get your files back. I can go into the details of how it works if anyone is interested, but that isn't the reason for this message.--
I'm looking for a seamless or automatic backup tool, method, approach that is either immune or hardened to protect against CryptoLocker and its cousins. The challenge is that using classic tools (e.g., Karen's Backup) the device is visible to CryptoLocker and vulnerable.
I'd prefer a local backup solution so that it works even in hotels with less than poor Internet access. So an Internet solutions is 3rd on the priorities list. A second choice would be a LAN-based solution that fits the "hardened or immune" to CryptoLocker criteria.
Anyone have ideas or comments?
Thanks!
David
