The "backup" in their case is ability to continue working on the second
computer while the first is in for repairs ... not the backup of the
files themselves.

If it's "urgent" work-related, then they may be able to have a loan
computer from the repair shop while their computer is being fixed -
sometimes it's free, sometimes it's an extra cost. I did that when my
original 17" Apple display died, although the loan display was only
15".
