From the Paper:

"The problem is that most individuals take for granted just how much information is in on a private or networked computer. Imagine the effect for a typical college student if his or her hard drive were to crash near midterms or finals. Or, consider the effect on a small business if a main file server for the accounting system was to suddenly be lost around tax time. Ironically, replacing hardware has become the least of the average computer user's problems. Today, any high school kid with a D average can get a PC back up and running. But, replacing data that was corrupted or even worse, completely wiped out is an almost impossible task."
