Even for your own data, asymmetric encryption can be useful.
Eg think you want to encrypt your logs: with asymmetric encryption you can store the public keys on all your servers, encrypt your logs as you generated them and forget the plain text as soon as possible. You keep your private key hidden away on a secure server, and only use it when you actually want to look at your logs (which doesn't happen all that often).
