We should *never* completely stop using hardcopy backup, just in case of a "worst-case scenario".
Of course, any scenario big enough to wipe out the entire world-wide electrical grid and long-lasting enough to drain any UPS or fuel-based generators is so bad that hardcopy backups of information will be the *least* of our worries.

Some industries do so now. In the medical field, hospitals and clinics that have document imaging systems hold on to the paper chart for a period of years (this varies from state to state). After the mandatory time period has elapsed, they can and often do have the records destroyed. Some hospitals are paranoid (and I don't blame them) and so never destory the records.

I can't even get use to my digital camera that I bought over 2 yrs ago...I miss negatives. I feel very NAKED without the back up of a negative, so NO, I will always keep a paper record, myself! PC delete, CDs do, also...DON'T let anyone tell you disks are great for storage. They eventually delete ALL data. (Experience!) GREAT question! I gave you a star!

currently all big organizations have a paperless environment for all work related. they use workflow and document management programs. All evidences are electronic and items are scanned, emailed etc but retained electronically. Backups are taken daily and stored offsite. Even banks are now moving to electronic file storage and retrieval.

Yes many of us already have.
There are some rule to keeping electronic data secure. For example keeping a back-up. If you follow these rule you will be OK.
If you think about it there are also rule to keeping paper copies secure.For example not allowing your dog near them . :)
