Data Backup

A flat fee is charged when we backup your data, it will vary depending on the media and amount of data as specified on the price sheet.

In most cases we will remove your hard drive from your machine and hook it up to one of our data backup servers.

Data is often encrypted or was user password protected. To gain access to your data, various preparatory steps might be required.

Then we will initialized the data backup. While your data is copied, the server will scan for viruses and spyware. We will copy the contents onto one of our data backup servers. Once the data is copied, we will verify the original data size with the data copied onto the server. We never backup applications or application directories, as they are not usable when copied back onto an installation. Applications have to be re-installed to gain access to your data. E.g. to be able to read a word document created in Microsoft Word, you will need to re-install the application in order for you to access this file.

Once the data backup is completed we will copy your data onto either your media provided, a new hard drive, a usb flash drive, dvd/cd disks or whatever media you prefer. Pricing is dependent on the media type you choose and the amount of data as specified on the price sheet.

There is no warranties or guarantees on data backups. You are ultimately liable and responsible for your data. If you feel you miss data after our data backup, we can re-check your source drive for more data at additional cost.

Keep in mind that data can be lost due to data corruption (bad hardware), virus infection, encryption etc.

Data recovery is another option to retrieve in-advertantly deleted data, or data lost through data corruptiong or hard drive failure.
