I have a Raspberry Pi on my home network, and one thing I use it for is backups. I have the sshd running on the Raspberry Pi, and a USB drive mounted on the Pi as /backup. Then I use GNOME's file manager to map a folder to the Pi's /backup over SSH.
Just click on the shortcut in the file manager, type my (Raspberry Pi) password, and it's available. That's pretty easy. And transparent. And secure.
I use the Pi's /backup to store a second copy of things I don't want to lose.
I'll add that you can use QEMU to boot another operating system on the Raspberry Pi, and run games there. For example, you can easily run FreeDOS on the Raspberry Pi through QEMU.

One of the many reasons people use FreeDOS today is to play classic DOS games. Any game that ran on regular MS-DOS should also run on FreeDOS.
