As I indicated yesterday, I have a package deal for a backup ready today.
What I’ve put together is a simple little package of an external hard drive (minimum of one terabyte [equals 1000 gigabytes or 1,000,000 megabytes]), some software, and two hours of my time for setup and follow-up. While I admit that the software I’ll be implementing doesn’t have its own cost, it is still be very capable and the exact title depends upon your needs.
This is ready whether you have a Mac or a PC, small office or your home. I come to you and set it up. I’ll bring the drive and get started straight away.
Just click through to http://www.fixescomputers.com/backupspecial.html to get started. I’ve even added an option for a second drive at the same location, this will also add one more hour to the setup and follow-up time. If you have other work you wish done, you may add time for that as well.
I’ve priced it at a fair $150 for the first drive and my time. $125 for the second (and more if you wish). If this seems extraordinary to you, just think of how much it will cost to recover your data should your drive fail without a backup. Commercial services such as Drive Savers charge an enormous amount to do this. If you don’t have a backup, you’re either going to use one of those services or deal with the loss of pictures, documents, e-mails, music, etc. that you may never be able to recreate. As insurance goes, this isn’t expensive given how much your memories mean to you.
