Data backup and recovery, so your photos never depend on one drive
Most people think about backups the day after they needed one. We set up something that runs by itself, and if files have already gone missing, we look at what can be done to get them back.
We can help when
- You have never backed up, or you aren't sure if you have
- All your family photos live on one computer or phone
- A drive has died or won't show up
- You deleted something important by accident
- You keep getting "iCloud storage is full" messages
How we approach it
-
Work out what matters
We find where your important files live, which is often in more places than you would think.
-
Set up the backup
We usually combine a cloud service with an external drive, so one bad day can't take out both copies.
-
Test the restore
A backup only counts if you can get your files back, so we check that it works and show you how.
Common questions
Is cloud backup safe?
For most people, yes, provided you use a strong password and two-step sign-in. We set both up with you.
How often should I back up?
Ideally it happens automatically every day. Once it's running you shouldn't have to think about it.
