Good Data Backup Habits

It gets frustrating when clients have no backup data whatsoever. They are clueless at times and need some guidance and education in order to eliminate data loss. PC Virus Doctors' Dallas Computer Repair are primarily serving the private sector with about 10% commercial business.

Our Dallas Computer Services include backups on any media, tape, cd, dvd, flash drives or other hard drives as needed. Another way to back up data is online since these services have become available to the average consumer at reasonable costs. Ask for these services as needed or as part of a repair service to your laptop or desktop.

Good Data Backup Habits Include:
  1. Backing up "newly created data" daily.
  2. Backing data up into logically created folders that are easily accessible.
  3. Checking the physical integrity of the medial users are writing to.
  4. Backing up data to three independent sources-
  • your computer, whether desktop or laptop
  • another source, such as cd, dvd, external drive or flash drive
  • an "off premise" data storage place such as a bank deposit box, a friends house in a fire proof safe, a storage rental unit; using the describe method a user would have three backups including one off-site.
PC Virus Doctors' Dallas Data Recovery will also store data for short term or long term periods.
