Off-Site Backup Cheap, Easy & Secure!

Backup your computer today, right now, with off site backup. 

 

Due to file upload limitations, Off-Site backup can take several days to backup significant amounts of data.  NOW is the time to start this process, not when you actually NEED it.  While we can force critical backups immediately
(QuickBooks  customer data bases etc.) if you have years of data that has never been backed up, it will take a few days to complete the process.

Call us today so you are ready for anything tomorrow!  
 Off-Site backup for Small Business customers is as little as $24.00 per month and a one time installation of $80.00.  We think protecting your data is well worth it!
Residential off-site backup plans start at $8.00 per month.

Protecting your Hardware: Leaving equipment behind.

Take pictures of all office furniture and neglect nothing.  That chair may not be worth much until you have to replace it. 

 

.  Unplug all equipment from internet connections and electrical power.

 

. Seal all important business papers, tools, and printed materials in water tight containers.

 

.  Seal all computers in plastic bags and tape securely.

 

.  Place equipment up on a table to protect from flooding and if possible place another piece of furniture over it to protect from falling debris.  A chair placed over the PC, on the table, will help protect your PC from falling ceiling tiles should that happen. 

 

 .  Don’t forget credit card machines, printers, fax machines, telephones, wet vacs, and the like.  What will you need right away to get back to business?  Make sure you have secured business essentials so you can immediately get back to business when the storm passes

Testimonials

I wanted to write a brief testimonial for you/your business when I got home today but I wasn't sure where to do that on your site so I trust that I just need to send you one here, in email and you'll post it to the site? Testimonial: I popped into "Your Computer Friends" today without much hope of having my wee little computer problem solved but Susan took care of it in about 3 minutes flat. It was a simple enough problem but one I couldn't take care of on my own; I had a file on an antiquated hard floppy that I wanted access to. Susan took care of the issue quickly and efficiently and had me out on the door and on my way in no time. The lesson I learned (besides having a little more patience)? That there is room in our world for both new and outdated technology and that experts like Susan are a great resource. I will definitely think of her again should I have pricklier computer problems and would recommend her services without hesitation. Thanks again Susan -- I appreciate your help.
