I would genuinely rather lose all my critical data to cryptolocker than put it in the cloud. Given a choice between my data being accessible by no-one or everyone, I will pick no-one every time.
Data in the cloud /is/ available to everyone that matters.
I'd also like to remind you that it can be impractical to back up some forms of data, especially in the cloud. High definition video (weddings, funerals, holidays) is impractically large.
The problem /is/ Cryptolocker. Anyone with an ounce of practicality will take mitigating steps against it, I have no sympathy for anyone who ignores the risk, but the solution is not massive scale global data duplication, that is treating the symptoms. The solution is to dissuade criminals from this path.
Widescale international cooperation in finding these people would be a start.
