re you backing up? 
 

A few times a month I get a call from a customer who has experienced a hard drive failure.  The hard drive is the part of the computer that stores all our “stuff”; including family photos, documents, etc. 

The problem is that, more often than not, the customer hasn’t backed up their hard drive, or the back up that they have made, for one reason or another, is too old or doesn’t work.

The problem can be compounded because even though we have excellent data recovery tools, sometimes the hard drives fail in such a way that the data files cannot be recovered at a reasonable cost. 

In the end, one may be at risk of losing irreplaceable family history and important documents and records.

The bottom line is that there are a number of ways we can backup data, but with the ever increasing size of hard disk drives, it becomes more difficult to insure that we’re backing up all of it securely.

Computer Dave now offers a solution that is user-friendly, secure and affordable.  For $289 Computer Dave will install and configure an external 500 Gb hard drive and Memeo auto-backup application on your computer. 

With this combination, your files are instantly and automatically protected.  No need for manual or scheduled backups.  Memeo will back-up any new or changed file instantly and automatically. Memeo also offers auto-backup solutions for folks who have more than one computer?  For more information, or to schedule, give Computer Dave a call.
