Data stored on hard drives has become very precious to many. In some cases, the ones and zeros written to disk can mean weeks, months or years worth of work to their author, and in other cases (such as data from a telescope run) they can never be recovered. For this reason, we not only have some redundant systems in place, but also some backup systems to try to make sure important data is never lost.
