This seems a step before that sense of the word "backup". The guy's PC did not die.

He apparently created "GIF novels", which presumably involved using some application to work on a file on his local hard drive. What did he do after uploading the finished GIF to his blog? Manually delete it from his hard drive? Why?

Or maybe it was always just saved as a draft on his blog (or on Google Docs/Drive/whatever). It's perfectly possible that he did all his work in a web browser and that it never touched his drive (aside from browser cache).

Maybe he wasn't even creating his own images, instead building the story through a meme generator, or something.
