every project has its naysayers. 'oh well massive loss of digital data is unlikely'....until it actually happens through either manmade or natural means. we live in a fairly unpredictable universe.

its never stupid to have back-ups like this. better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it. he's spending less to attempt to archive all knowledge than we spend on one missile.
