Thanks... Looks like at least some folks out there are up-to-date. The thread confuses the threat of extorsion malware with why one needs to take backups.
Backup's not even necessary... modern file systems will let you roll back to the previous version of a file. And I bet most users don't even care loosing a file. How big is the chance that a file that you absolutely can't miss gets encrypted?
