Help! My Computer won’t start

October 20, 2007

This was the start of a conversation with Chris Cross of AutoTechnics and Southport MOT in Southport.
For whatever reason he came to write some invoices and his computer would not start.

No email, No Sage, No Invoices.

There is nothing so annoying for a small business. Unfortunately, he did not have a backup!

We took a look at the machine with one of our sub-contractors and recovered almost all of Chris’ data.

We recommended that he purchase a new computer (as the one that had failed was around 6 years old and was now faulty) and helped him to specify a machine from Dell.

More importantly, we recommended to him that he at least install a backup solution. With our help, Chris selected an online solution from Mozy.

We cannot stress enough how important it is to have a backup! If you have any questions about backing up your data (whether at work or at home) please contact us.
