That is the paper in which Jim Gray coined Mean time to data loss.
It's been quoted here before.

Sad note: Turing award winner Jim Gray has been missing now for two
weeks, after he went sailing out of San Fransisco on his sailboat
Tenacious on jan 28.

Friends of Jim mobilised Amazon's mechanical Turk to scan the ocean
for possible signs of the boat.  The search efforts can be tracked
at http://openphi.net/tenacious/
