A method includes creating a first virtual machine comprising a remote file system. The method further includes causing all input/output from a second virtual machine to be redirected to the remote file system, the first virtual machine and the second virtual machine being on a single physical computer. The file system is securely protected from any malicious code executing on the second virtual machine by the hardware enforced partitioning between the first virtual machine and the second virtual machine.
