Backups might get you up and running again, but the new hotness is threatening to release trade secrets, competitive advantages, and embarrassing emails. Even with an ironclad recovery some people might be inclined to pay in such a situation.

True, but companies may be less likely to pay. I'm confident that our major competitors have enough ethics to not look at our trade secrets if released, and the minor ones that would don't have the ability to hide their tracks and so in court they will be shut down.
