Backups are a definite must ... and certainly can help with ransomware. But they sure as elephant don't even come close to being a silver bullet.
So I might be tempted to say you get 2 sub-kinds of the first kind:
- Those who know that a good backup routine is only a brick in the wall.
- Those who think having an "awesome" backup routine is all they need.
Personally I start off by stating: I am the weak link. I need to make sure I don't do stupid things like clicking on just any old thing, or opening mails from doggy sources. Next I take the line that a backup is blind ... if you don't catch things like ransomware soon enough, your backup is simply duplicating the ransomware spreading it further. So do tests on your data before and after backups, i.e. what anti-viruses "should" be doing but rarely actually "do".
And finally understand that no lock is pick-proof, no medicine works for all illnesses - same way all firewalls / AVs / etc. are just attempts to keep bad things out. And fixes and patches are just there to try and remove those bad things once they HAVE TAKEN HOLD. At which time your latest backup is most probably also infected and would help very little when you try to restore it.

Name the song:
public void Chorus()
{
Sugar you = new Sugar();
Body me = new Body();
if (you.Wants(me) && you.Thinks(me) == Impressions.Sexy)
{
you.Alert(me, Alerts.Know);
}
if (you.Needs(me))
{
you.Reach(out me, you.Touch(me));
((Honey)you).Tell(me, Alerts.So);
}
}

A warmup (for me) for next Saturday
if (DateTime.Now.Hour <= 1 && Environment.Moon.IsVisible)
{
var highway = Map.Streets.First(n => n.Contains("Highway");
this.WalkTo(highway);
int miles = 0;
bool found = false;
while (!found)
{
this.Walk(highway.RelativeDirectionTo(this));
miles++;
found = this.FOV.Objects.Contains(this.Partner);
}
}

You are clearly much better at this than I am - I don't have a good clue at all!
Good one though, got me thinking...

Knowing your smarts, chances are I just picked a not very well known song. Though, geographically you're at an advantage

Correct!
I came to know it by Fairground Attraction's cover, which was in the UK charts in 1990 (which is why I told Griff he was at an advantage, geographically).

Well, that certainly changes the meaning of the lyrics - Rick's never going to feed you pudding!
Pssst: I think you meant "desert".
