We do on site, off site and cloud backups. And it really isn't that expensive to do.

We deal with Cryptolocker outbreaks a lot, since my company manages the IT environment for hundreds of smaller businesses. Usually they're easy to deal with, since a standard user opening the email attachment won't have access to anything beyond their local system and whatever network folders they've been assigned. The only way for this type of malware to infect your entire network (including backups) would be for it to run under domain admin credentials, which I've never actually seen
We've had one client actually have to pay to get their files decrypted, because they had no backup solution whatsoever
