download and copy all digital financial statements to the hard drive, and the bury it in the back yard for safe keeping. . or put it in a fire proof box and save it a corner of a closet. . . and you are good for as long as you live. . . and its a one time expense. If you have a shared drive, put copies on the shared drive and have a relative save the same files to their stand alone hard drive for backup purposes, and remove the hacking threat. . .

same with important emails. . .

good luck. .
