This puts me in mind of the story of the early days of developing Linux
when Linus Thorvalds had his computer go down.
He was able to get it back up and recover his lost work from friends he
had been collaborating with over the Internet.
After he was able to pick up from where he left off he quipped 'Who
needs backups when you can use the Internet  as your backup drive?'


Here's the exact quote, taken from the linux.dev.kernel newsgroup post
(http://groups.google.com/group/linux.dev.kernel/msg/76ae734d543e396d):

"Only wimps use tape backup: _real_ men just upload their important
stuff on ftp, and let the rest of the world mirror it ;)"
