This is so not fun to report but recently I had a dear client of ours bring their external hard drive in reporting external hard drive files lost.
They had been considering our services but turned us down, not sure why, could be the expense perhaps. I understood though.
About 2 months later they called me to say their external stopped working. Upon inspection it was discovered the external case had corrupted the partition table and the drive was not working at all anymore. We sent the drive out to a specialty shop for inspection and to retreive all their data was going to cost them $700.00 !
I was quite sad to hear that.
It’s true, if your data is off site you’ll sleep better at night because if you have to restore a file you need to know your backups are running.
Would you believe that again today while working away in excel I copied one file over the other?
It seems I was quite content with just thinking about other things at the time, you know, not fully paying attention.
Then Alan our office admin comes in, he’s like, “Chaaaaad….. where did you put all my notes from the xls file I’ve been working in”? It was then that my open hand hit my forehead, darn dit it again!
Yes, even the guy’s that provide off site data backup services lose their files. Anyhow, opened our restore a file software, punched in the password, Alan now has his data and is quite happy, I’m happy too because the information was sales calls related
As much as we hate to see bad stuff happen to people trying to run an honest business we sure are happy to help restore files. Just had another client call who had been working on a file but made a mistake on it, in this particular accounting package it was year end and there was no way to restore accounting data from it so they called us for a restore.
After a few minutes all was restored, it feel nice making someones day, that’s what we’re here for 
There are A LOT of software programs out there that will backup your data for you. Even Norton and Dell are getting into the market and releasing their unique version in an attempt to protect your data from “THE WORST”.
Whether or not you are protected by our services the biggest mystery remains, how do you know your data is backed up?
With the Smart Off site Data Backup service you’ll know your backups are running because each time it runs you’ll receive an email confirmation with details like this:

There are tons of reasons everyone should have a managed off site backup service in place.
Here’s what just happened to me:
Here’s how I did that:
I was doing up a quote for a potential client of mine from a power point presentation that I’d created for something else and I was quite happy with it. I opened the file and began making changes. Then forgot to save it with a new name!!!
After many more changes I realized I overwrote the original. I thought to myself, not to worry I’ll just make the changes back to how it was. Yah well that would have take 20 minutes and I’m sure it probly wouldn’t have been the same anyway.
So I fired up our backup software, click my backup set and waited for it to show the listing of files on the server. Entered my password and restored the file right back to where it was originally. LOVE IT!!!!!!
For our dear clients on this service restoring is even easier! You just call me directly at 40 3-352-9399 and we’ll use remote control to help you get your files ASAP.

I’ve been thinking of posting about our Managed Offsite Backup Services for way too long now.If you have computers, you have data, if it’s important information you need a backup solution.
Too many times I’ve heard the stories of people putting there trust in computers untill the day something happens and they lose their valued photos or accounting or tax information. If a data backup solution is not managed by someone it’s going to have problems. Which is we we offer Managed Offsite Backup Services.
We recommend a 2 fold approach:
1. On site disk imaging to gather the entire operating system. In most circumstances disk imaging is too big to push off site on a regular basis, once in a while is a different situation though.
2. Off site with your most valuable information.
Your data is your business, our business is in making sure you always have your data.
