It appears to me that you are talking at cross purposes to everyone else.

While I'll wager that a 10-minute restore is remarkable, it's what
happens between an *undected* hack and the next restoration - how much
personal activity will you do during those 30 minutes?  You mention
removing all personal data - but that's the point - if it's on the
system, and you get cracked, then that data is exposed.
