There are often 2 threats from a randsomware attack - what you describe mitigates against data loss, but not against data being posted online by an attacker.

I disagree. Restoring quickly to a known-good state is a crucial aspect of shutting down an attack after the intrusion is detected. If you can't get the attacker out of the system, they will have more opportunity to exfiltrate data.

I'm not disagreeing with having the ability to restore your data - plainly that's vital to business continuity.

My point is that it's not the only consideration.
