Systems and methods for protected local backup. In an illustrative, non-limiting embodiment, an Information Handling System (IHS) may include one or more processors and a memory coupled to the one or more processors, the memory including program instructions stored thereon that, upon execution by the one or more processors, cause the IHS to: receive, via a file system filter driver, a request targeting a file system within a storage device, wherein the file system filter driver is owned by a backup application; and reject the request, via the file system filter driver, in response to the request having been issued by an application other than the backup application.
