What a loaded statement. You don't know how many times I've heard horror starting with this.
I was at a networking event when I met a woman who took my card and wished she had met me before. She proceeded to tell me the story of getting someone that she knew that fiddled with computers to migrate the data from her old machine to the new one she just purchased. It looks like after she was assured that the job was done and the person was long gone (who she thought did her a favour and for cheap!) that she noticed that entire folders of data that pertained to her home business that she was running were missing on the new machine and gone forever.
As much as she tried, she called him back, to see if he can correct the problem but the files were gone. She now has to start over.
Other times I hear of customers taking their drives to larger Retail shops that offer some computer repair for customers as a service. Machines were formatted according to company policy with no regards to backing up and transferring data.
The latest one, which was actually yesterday had paid for service to backup her data, but after all was said and done, she was only able to find 3 folders of the hundreds that contained family and baby photos.
I'm not saying the computer skills aren't there. I'm sure the techs know enough short-cut keys to never have to touch the mouse. I'm just saying too many times I've heard scary stories where technicians are there to do a job, fix a machine, reload windows... and missing the subtle point where they also must preserve the personal and confidential data of the the person that owns the hardware.
At RecoverMyPc, some of the many difficult tasks we do on a regular basis are saving the email servers of companies, recovering data when other can't, and moving the actual platters of disks in order to recover disk drives (We don't recommend you try this at home).
I think it's safe to say we know a thing or two about computers.
We can help with common problems when your computers or servers don't behave. When it comes to your data, we know how important your information is. Anyone that's dealt with us before knows that we'll do our very best to help where we can.
Call us first, advice is free, especially to friends which you all are, and we'd love to hear from you.
