PC Doctor+ Guide 15 Backups

Backups: An Overview

Good News - Bad News

The bad news is - your computer is a machine and like all machines it will break sooner or later. Often, this will take the form of data loss from a virus or hard drive crash.

The good news is - a competent data recovery specialist can probably get most of it back for you.

The bad news is - it's expensive.

The good news is - with Micro-Scope you can rebuild your Master Boot Record yourself and often the FAT as well.

The bad news is - rebuilding the FAT can be time-consuming and is not effective 100% of the time.

The good news is - with frequent scheduled backups, you don't have to worry too much about any of this.

Actually, as a technician you are likely well aware of the need for backups, but if you work for a small company or do free-lance repair your customers or bosses may not be. It's your job to educate them, before they have a hard-drive crash while doing the yearly taxes!
