Agree. However you should at least get the option to save it....I found some 
print profiles in AppData that one of my current clients couldn't live without.

That I agree with, but as far as I know most of that can be reconstructed with 
some time and effort a lot more easily than data related to the enterprise's 
line of business which the users keep in My Documents or on their Desktop.

There's a load of profile-specific stuff in there, which companies may or may 
not want to back up, dependent on their infrastructure setup.

Wait, what?  I thought that's what My Documents and the Desktop were for.  I 
can't recall any significant data going into AppData for any of my applications.

        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.
