I confess, I shudder at the thought of working novelists printing out a hard copy of their manuscript every few months. It sounds like a huge amount of paper usage to me, and a significant burden on the environment.
Also, it takes a lot of space to store.
I have a hard time imaginining a catastrophe that would eradicate my electronic backups (including hard drive backups, copies mailed to yahoo, and kindle documents) yet leave paper printouts unscathed. In any case, my primary creative capital is my brain, not my manuscript. If the worst happens, I can rebuild.
