Let's just assume that the government teaches all it's employees good practices for taking and archiving their backups,
Solution:
1. Get IT dept. to reinstall the OS, and software
2. Download all your files that you backed up from an on-line cloud
3. Get back to work
And no, this is not an "attack on democracy", this is an attack against 1 person.
Democracy allows me to use a plethora of different back-up solutions, to lock my office door, to tell my BIOS not to boot from CD/DVD/USB, and to use a BIOS password.
