For home users this probably is a feature, since this is where malware likes to 
hide.  This probably applies to many small business users who run as admin.

  A side client of mine tried Carbonite Pro a couple years back.  The
software was hard-coded to never back up "Application Data" (AppData)
folders.  When I contacted support, I discovered the company
considered this a feature.

  I recommended the customer avoid using a backup company that didn't
think data should be backed up.
