Do You Use USB Pen Drives For Back UP?

If you use a USB pen drive for backup, then you had better have a very understanding Boss / Partner.

As you can see, they are somewhat fragile:


At best, they should only be consider as TEMPORARY storage nothing else and most certainly NOT for backup.

Every week, without fail, we get a customer asking us to recover what data we can from their memory stick as it the only copy of their most valuable data or backup or pictures or school work etc etc 

Sometimes we can recover the data from the pen drive, in other cases it's a total loss so please make sure that you have a real backup and multiple copies of your data. We recommend that you keep at least three copies of your data in different locations at all times.

That way you have three chances of recovering your data. Remember its a fact that most people DO NOT have adequate backup

If you need help or advice or a computer backup solution, give us a call or pop in to see us
