In that case they'll lose the data no matter whether it is encrypted (at some point in the future). I fail to see how encryption makes that worse.

- crazygringo 4y agoIf you have a single unencrypted backup, for the vast, vast majority of people they'll never lose data. It's common for personal devices to break or get lost. It's also common to lose/forget a private key. So it's pretty easy to lose a device and then also discover already you'd lost/forgetten your key a while ago. But it's vanishingly rare for big-name consumer cloud services to lose data. And then it's astonishingly unlikely that a cloud service loses your backup and you then you break/lose your personal device before making a new backup. Does that clarify how you're much more likely to lose data because of encryption?
