In case yours hard drive crashes or your Digital Certificate gets accidentally deleted. If you store a backup copy of your Digital Certificate on a floppy disk in a secure place, then you will always be able to re-install your Digital Certificate. If you lose your Digital Certificate and it is not backed-up, then you will lose any messages that have been encrypted for you.
