Backup and Recovery


Computers are more reliable than ever, so it’s easy to forget or put off backing up your data. Computer drives still fail, and usually they give no advance warning.  And usually, when they fail, it's impossible (or very expensive) to get any data off of them.

Some computer viruses will corrupt your data.  Some computer viruses will bog your machine down so much that you can't login.
If you ever "lose" a computer to a virus, most technicians will advise you to wipe the drive clean and reinstall everything. That’s where Backups can be a lifesaver in these extreme cases.

Also, every computer has a Delete key, and sometimes it works too well.
Backups can let you save and organize the really important things, so you don't have to worry about what other people do with your data.
