If you are using a Microsoft Word version, then you work is auto-saved every few minutes or so. If you lose everythnig, you can retrieve the temp file. It usually shows up in your TEMP folder on your C drive. If you can't find it, do a search, but I guarantee it will be there. You will have all of your work up to the last save.
I highly recommend saving things to the hard drive first, then transferring to a disk (or disc). That way, you always have a copy that won't be easily damaged like a disk.
Also, for toocute, maybe you should suugest your husband put his stuff in a zip folder that he can add to when he gets a new story. That way, he always has his stuff at hand. You never know if someone may want to see samples of his work, etc.
I am an architect/engineer, so my AutoCAD program loves to crash on me. I have found that zip disks are great for storing large files and are less suspectible to being damaged as they come with protective hard plastic cases.
