Oh, that opens up a heck of an idea. I wonder if he could
get a free trial Carbonite account. Load everything up. And
then load it to the other computer. Send me the log and
pass. I can then load up to the Carbonite a lot of stuff,
and then make a backup of his stuff.

From what you've said, the dude has a bigger problem. *He is

making backups. *If he were, you could backup one machine
and restore
to another. *The solution with to get an external hard drive

everything to it. *The pick and choose what you want to move

computers after everything is on the external drive.

However, putting in a small (cheap) network is a better idea
in the
long run but doesn't address the backup issue.

Or better yet, use the paid carbonite. Upload all of his stuff. Get
his id and pass. Then use it yourself with his payment to you for
helping him being that he just paid for a year of carbonite. if I
refer you I get a free month or something like that.

It's a little slow on the upload, so a small network and a NAS might
be a better solution for him as primary backup.
