If you are buying a new PC or laptop then it is usually necessary to transfer the data from the old machine to the new one.At first glance this seems easy – just a matter of putting files on a USB pen or hard drive and the on to the new machine.But often things are missed like Outlook files, Address Books or Internet favourite site bookmark listsIf you choose us to do this for you we can ascertain exactly what files you wish to transfer and in a couple of hours that can be done without any hassle for you!
If you have lost data then it is often the case that it is not lost forever but is merely “temporarily unavailable or hidden.”The trick is to know where to look and how to recover it when you find it!In most cases we can recover ‘lost’ data or wiped files and even the software itself if that has “vanished”.REMOTE FIX If you have data issues you can either bring your PC or laptop to us or we can collect it from you (there is an extra charge for this).In some instances we can gain remote access to your laptop or PC at your home or business location and recover data in a few minutes, in which case we may make only a small charge for this.Generally we can recover most lost data but if you have knocked or dropped your laptop or perhaps spilt tea or coffee or something similar on it, then it may have to be sent to a data recovery specialist which is often quite costly but maybe a necessary price to pay.
From time to time files “corrupt” and you cannot access them or files “vanish” during software updates.If you experience this then all is not lost – we can usually recover and open files for you.You can bring your PC or laptop to us or we can collect it from you (there is an extra charge for this).In some instances we solve data problems through remotely accessing your laptop or PC at your home or business location and recover data in a few minutes, making a small charge for this service
Hard drives, whether in your laptop or PC or independent, can and do go wrong but the failure need not be disastrous if you take precautions.These measures are very simple and often there are inexpensive ways to protect all your data (documents and files).It is essential that you do this whatever you use your laptop or PC for.A few years ago the cost of backing up data was prohibitively expensive for all but business users but like many things associated with IT and computers, the costs have tumbled in recent years and now everyone can afford some kind of data back-up protection
Organising you data so that everything is where it should be and can be easily accessed saves time and if you are in business can save money as well!We can help make sure that all your data is in the right place in an area where you can find it all easily
There are a lot of options now available to both personal and business computer users.Using a USB pen is probably the cheapest and easiest data back-up solution ideal especially if you don’t have very much data you wish to protect against loss.Now you can buy massive hard drives such as the a one terabyte USB drive. But hard drives are vulnerable to virus attack or hardware failure so you might want to consider additional back-up of critically important data to a CD Rom if it is very valuable to you or irreplaceable.Back it up to an independent server is another possible solution but don’t forget that a server elsewhere might fail.
