This is the way to go.

Instead of paying ransom, and creating a ransomware criminal industry out of thin air, its better to force companies to recover and restore from backups and remove monetary incentive for crime.

and the executives who failed to carry regular backups obviously should face the music

Wouldn't that incentivise companies manufacturing media and backup facilities to finance ransomware operators?
