How to mitigate the encryption malware?

I like the way the malware can encrypt Time Machine backups.

I am considering changing my Time Machine configuration so that it writes to a Linux box on the network rather than an external disk, and where I can take daily ZFS snapshots of it - presumably this would mitigate against this type of malware.

I believe this configuration works , but is unsupported by Apple.
