If you don't want to go to all the trouble of trying to selectively back
up just what's needed, then plug in external disc (hard drive, flash
drive), copy entire home directory to it.  Simple backup...

It gets harder if they've saved data all over the place, rather than
just in their own space.  XP was still dealing with people running as
admin, to cope with programs which stored things in the programs
directory.

All mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted, there is no point
trying to privately email me, I will only read messages posted to the
public lists.

George Orwell's '1984' was supposed to be a warning against tyranny, not
a set of instructions for supposedly democratic governments.
