Lets say you are a web developer and someone comes to you and says that they lost their web site. They let their domain name lapse or it was hacked. What ever the problem they don't have the back up files but want a copy of the site back up and running. If you don't have the back up files to work off of, you may not have to recreate the text of the whole site. Check out Archive.org. They have this stupendous program called the Way Back Machine.
The Way Back Machine is a collection of archived websites that was started in 1996 all the way up to a few months ago. It is possible that they may not have archived the site that you need to restore, but if they do, then you have just saved yourself or your client a ton of work re-creating those "lost" pages.
In my book, that is totally awesome!
