Uploading, saving, and downloading files that are kept on a server somewhere out there in Webland is known in the US as "cloud computing". A few cautions about this. 1. Be sure that the service is one that you expect to be around awhile. If they go out of business, you may not be able to retrieve your files. 2. Make sure you read the fine print on the user agreement. There are some services that specify who the information belongs to (other than you!) when you upload information to their site. 3. If someone makes a claim about you using the space illegally (whether true or not), the provider may lock you out of your own files if they think that there may be some truth to the claim. It is easier for them than spending time and money researching the claim extensively. Not to scare anyone, but only to let you know that there are always positives and negatives.

So you don't need to be in SA to lose it all. I had been using the laptop as a backup. Fortunately the Desktop computer survived along with my data. So now, irrespective of hard drive failure, theft or fire, the data (which is worth more than $4.95 a month) is on a server in the US of A, ready to be recovered at a convenient time. My email is on it too, addresses, inbox and sent items. Let me know what your IT son thinks of the Remote Backup idea.
