DATA BACK-UP & STORAGE

The average hard drive lasts five years.  This means that half of them fail in under five years.  If you don't have your essential files stored safely in a place other than your hard drive, you will lose them.  Most files today are too numerous and/or too big to conveniently store on floppy disks.  If you don't have a back-up device (and most home users and even small businesses don't), backing up your files is an exercise in frustration at best and sometimes frankly impossible.  By having your files in a safe location outside of your computer, you guarantee that your files will be safe when the inevitable hard drive failure occurs.  Data recovery from a failed hard drive costs at least $100.00 an hour and can take tens of hours to do.   We make sure you don't need to have your important data recovered from a crashed hard drive by safely and securely storing it on an easy-to-use CD.  We can also restore your data from this CD after your crashed hard drive has been replaced.  (For information on in-home service for replacing crashed hard-drives and restoring your computer, see Consultations & Help).

Costs and Means

To back up your information you MUST have a Windows 95 or later operating system.   Backing up information is based on time and the average cost is $120.00 for up to 2 hours of data back-up time.  Any amount of data can be backed up (Up to and including the entire contents of your hard drive).  Minimum fee is $75.00 (assuming you provide the materials such as CD's, DVD's or an external hard drive) and time is charged at a rate of $45.00 an hour after the first hour.  The more information requested to be backed up, the longer it usually  takes and the higher the price will be.
