You can get a USB -> IDE adapter to copy files.
They also make SATA -> IDE adapters to convert the IDE drive to SATA.
PCI or PCIe IDE cards are also sold on the market.
You have options for sure.
With such important information, they should have a backup plan in place anyway. You never know when a hard drive will fail(new or old).

If it's that old I have to wonder if it even has USB...which would rule out a USB stick
Does it have a CD writer ?
Or ya can buy an adapter like this
