Good point Mark. I guess it depends how you likely perceive the threat, and how big a problem it would be.

What do you do if you delete a file by mistake? If the backup is mirroring your deskto system the file will be deleted there too.
Or, indeed, you get a virus that encrypts all your files, and all your backups get overwritten automatically by the encrypted files.
A sync backup is great for guarding against a disk or other hardware failure but doesn't go far enough unless your cloud server is versioning.
