I've seen this in practice - the two person business with a file server, and a NAS they backed up onto. For the size of the business, they were doing everything right.
Every time I say this, someone chimes in and says that in their office, they air gap tape drives and do all sorts of things with storage snapshots. If you're an enterprise - great. A large proportion of "two laptops" businesses have no backups at all, or a "I selectively place important things in Dropbox" setup. This team went and bought a NAS and setup backups. Good on them. It was sad to see cryptolocker take down both desktops, and all backups on the NAS.
The email he received sent him to a website with a convincing looking download, which came up 0/55 on virustotal. He even told me he wouldn't have run an executable - but it was a Word document. It can be truly depressing to see who cryptolocker affects sometimes.
