[QUOTE="BSONE, post: 1080059, member: 108351"] Yes, backups are important, and most [B][U]home users[/U][/B] will probably have some combination of iCloud, Google, or OneDrive cloud backups of their Documents and Photos running in the background without even knowing about it. Will it be the end of the world if their device gets CryptoLockered? Probably not. But what will be close to the end of the world for many an [B][U]average person[/U][/B] is if they get hit buy some sort of Infostealer malware that drains their bank account, steals their identity, and gains access to their primary Email address, exfiltrates their sensitive or compromising documents and photos. Backups won't help the [B][U]average user[/U][/B] here. AV's with magical rollback schemes wont even help the [U][B]advanced user[/B][/U] who makes a mistake since we are not infallible. [/QUOTE]
