Data Backups
If you have ever had a hard drive crash without backups, then
you can understand the headaches of having a professional
recover the data manually. It can costs literally thousands to
have data recovered, and even then you may not get back
everything. But all that can be avoided by simply setting up a
backup system for much less! Read below to find out why
Jimboscomp.com makes the most trusted backup systems. |

We have made a dedication to provide
the finest computer services and products available. But any
computer can have a bad day, even the most elite computers on
the market. That's why we have designed data backup systems that
can backup your data in the event of a hard drive crash, file
system corruption, or physical damage done to a computer.
Everything is done through an external storage solution, either
by an hard drive, Compact Flash memory card, or a separate
server to control only backups.
Personal Backups:
We recommend using an external hard drive connected via USB/Firewire
to your own personal computer. This is the best choice if you do
not have computers on a network, or if you wish only to backup
the data on your computer. This option has three choices of
backup media to use, an external hard drive, internal hard drive
(desktops with room for one more hard drive only), and a Compact
Flash card. These backups come in sizes from 4GB to 16GB
(Compact Flash) and 200GB to 750GB (internal/external hard
drive).

Network Backups:
We can setup your external hard drive to connect to your
network, enabling you to backup data from multiple computers on
your network. This is an efficient idea for home or small office
networks. Hard drives in this solution come in sizes from 200GB
to 750GB.
Server Based Backup Systems:
These are the best solution for small business to large company
backups. These are computers that are dedicated to handle the
backups of all the data in a business. Computers come loaded
with Windows XP Professional, Gigabit LAN, and start with 500GB
of space, which can be expanded to over 2TB based on your needs. |
Backup FAQs:
-Why Do I Need a
Backup?
Everyone needs a backup so that
their data is available incase the computer hard drive crashes. Even if
you only read e-mails and share photos with friends, a backup will keep
you from loosing those e-mails and valuable family photos and memories.
We once asked for a quote from a data recovery company, and were quoted
$1,700 to retrieve all the data off of a crashed 30GB hard drive. With a
backup that may cost around $200, you can have your own backups, which
will keep you from having to not only spend thousands, but your backups
are right there for your immediate use! Our backups come in sizes from 4GB to over 1TB, and can backup things
from personal photos and e-mail, to corporate databases and records.
-What
if the computer hard drive and backup drive die at the same time?
The chance of both hard drives crashing at the same
time is extremely unlikely. In the years Jimboscomp.com has looked over
backups, we have never had a hard drive and backup hard drive crash at
the same time.
-Do I ever need to
replace my backup hard drive?
We recommend you change out the backup hard drive every
5 years. After about 5 years of use, a hard drive's life and integrity
will start to decrease, making the chance of it failing more possible.
To keep your backups healthy, changing the hard drive every 5 years will
insure your files are safe for many years!
-What if I don't need
a lot of space to run my backups?
We have small backup packages as well. We can even
setup a backup that will go onto a small Compact Flash card, making your
backup reliable, and portable! Compact Flash backups are available up to
16 GB. |
