"Average users" don't do things right.
I hate saying it, but experience has played this out for me time and time again.
- _Algernon_ 4y agoPoint is that even without encryption they had a ticking time bomb on their hands. They would have shown up with the exact same problem, just later. Instead of discouraging encryption, use it as a way to encourage backups in the future.
- Shared404 4y agoYou knowthat, and I know that. But I think you're overestimating the capabilities of an average user. I'd be comfortable guess 60%+ of users don't know how to manually copy files to an external drive with any sort of reliability. ETA: Unless you're willing to spend three or four hours a user teaching them, forever become their personal IT service, and recognize that there's _still_ a non-neglible chance they copy the wrong thing, it's not always worth it.
