Abstract: The study presents the development of the tool aimed at defending user data against ransomware attacks by automating secure backup and recovery processes.This Python-based tool enhances data protection through strategic storage and file format transformation.This study effectively reduces the risk of ransomware encryption by converting critical sensitive files to less targeted formats and relocating them to secure system directories.Comprehensive testing against the ransomware samples demonstrated the tool's reliability in protecting the data and enabling seamless recovery.This work strengthens ransomware defence strategies, ensuring robust data security and resilience for end users.
