agreed, the problem with this is people will set a password and then not remember it. All users in my org that have iPhones have laptops, these are already encrypted so encrypting the backup causes more trouble for me than not. I have never used this option because the few users who have enabled it, when they needed it couldn't provide the password and we were dead in the water. Forcing the encrypted backup makes my life harder.
