Having started at 9 with typewriters and then taking a computer class in HS Iearned very quickly the differences and I typed 65 to 70 wpm so was fast and accurate. I got a A+ in the class.
He needs to use one of those online storage accounts like Dropbox, OneDrive, GoogleDrive, or even a NAS (Network Accessible Storage) drive. Sorry, the techie in me is coming out. :-)

5 years worth of work and it will only take 12 days to manually re-enter the data? He doesn’t use his ’puter much.

I’m still waiting for the paperless society we were promised at the beginning of the home PC age.

5 backup drives, count ‘em, FIVE!! Don’t get why people don’t backup important stuff. People have tons of stuff on their phones and NO backup. Scary.

I always download my vital data and important documents on dongles and do an external backup on one, at least once a year, just in case.

Yep, if he doesn’t know how to make backups after all these years, he should just give up using a computer for anything important.

Autosave is a wonderful thing. My image file always had it turned on for every 3 minutes for every computer the dept had.

This is why you need to make backups - a lesson most of us end up learning over and over again. ;)
