What if the repro guy loses the CD we send him?
What if this machine dies?
What if we can't afford studio time to redo it?

: Subject: The Theory Behind Backups (?)
: 
: 
:   The other day I was backing up my band's multi-track recordings of our 
: new album.  ( I throw one copy in my safe and the other copy to 
: the singer 
: ).  She asked my what the purpose of back-up was.  I was at a loss to 
: explain.
: 
: Me says:  "What if we want to go back in 10 years to see what we 
: had done."
: She says: "Why would we want to do that?"
: Me says:  "What if the band gets really popular some day and we want to 
: have a $800 an hour professional remix the album?"
: She says: "Wouldn't we want to re-create it from scratch then?"
: 
:   Not exact quotes, but that was the gist of the conversation.  How do I 
: explain the concept of a back-up?   I was trying to think of a mundane 
: metaphor, but couldn't.  Any ideas?
