Not really. Again, it's called "backing up your work and documents". If the student had had a modicom of common sense, that is what he would have done.

I once knew a producer who spent $200,000 recording tracks on an album and left the analog tapes in a cab. No system is perfect, but there has to be some kind of backup and hard copies aren't necessarily the answer either.

Had he had it in digital form and used back ups as common sense dictates, he would have had a copy of all the work. Only an idiot don't back up their work - in particular audio and video work, academic papers and so on (a sales document from a bike is perhaps not that important to back up).
