Più che il backup direi che avere i dati disponibili in vari progetti permette di avere nuove applicazioni. Per altri in ogni progetto con il tempo i dati originali vengono adattati in base alle esigenze del progetto stesso.
concordo anche io su questo, ed e' la scelta giusta che sta facendo ad esempio la neonata DPLA (digital public library of america):

"Portals are for visiting, platforms are for building on. While a portal can present its aggregated content in a way that invites exploration, the experience is always constrained – pre-determined by a set of design decisions about what is necessary, relevant and useful.
Platforms put those design decisions back into the hands of users. Instead of a single interface, there are innumerable ways of interacting with the data. Instead of a single website, the data is free to be displayed anywhere on the web."
