Seems more likely that having paper copies of everything can accidentally get tossed out, lost in a fire etc.
Backing up electronically can be saved in various locations easily and in a "cloud" so even if your computer is stolen/broken/on fire you'll still have a source for your stuff.

I guess potentially but personally I can say I've lost far more digital data than paper. Like others have said above, most places prefer the orginal document (myself included). I would certainly take digital copies as a backup but under no circumstances would I destroy the original.
