Backup and Data Recovery
Recover hidden treasures from your old computer
How important is your data? Homes and Business are equally vulnerable to data-loss, which can be devastating, yet many are blase about backups.
Disaster Recovery
Disasters come in all shapes and sizes, but anyone who has suffered a hard drive failure, had a computer stolen or break down on them, or been hit by a Ransomware attack, has felt that moment of panic, followed by the realisation that, without a backup, the possibility of recovering their important data may be all but gone. A reliable and tested backup strategy is your safe-guard against disaster.
Make No Mistake - Your Data IS At Risk
Manufacturing defects, power surges / brown outs, and physical handling issues (particularly with laptops), such as dropping or exposure to liquid, can render a hard drive inoperable and potentially unrecoverable; not to mention user errors like accidental formatting or bulk deletion of files are just some of the other ways your data is at risk.
The Risk of data loss for Small Business
Could your business still operate if you lost your Email, Customer data, Documents, Spreadsheets, accounts and inventory systems? Unlikely.
Data-loss is a significant risk to most small business and should the worst happen, at best you're looking at significant down-time, impacted revenue streams, costly recovery efforts and customer satisfaction issues; and in the worst case scenarios it can result in the total collapse of your business.
The Risk of data loss for Home Users
Family photos, home video's, Email, school reports, digital music and movie collections, games, and documents are all at risk if you do not have a robust strategy in place to protect yourself. Should the worst happen, if you don't have a recent and reliable backup then you could lose some, or all, of your important files.
Technology is Vulnerable
Disasters do not discriminate and, there is no sugar coating it - if you don't have a backup your information is at risk.
All technology including Desktop Computers, Laptops, All-in-ones, Servers, Apple MAC, Tablets and Smartphones have the potential to fail or fall foul of one or more of the disasters listed above
