Ditto. If I don't need an original, it get's scanned, filed (I'm one of those organized people) and the image stored online, using a secure service my internet/cable provider charges me a modest fee for.
You may not know this, but if you take a photocopy of the facing page of your passport and you lose your passport, you can go to any U.S. Embassy or Consulate overseas and get a replacement issued on the spot. In the US, you would go to a passport center, but they aren't in every city.
So I always travel with 2 or 3 photocopies stashed in various places, also I leave a couple with my office to fedex in the event I need it.
