HAVING A GOOD DATA "PROTECTION" STRATEGY IS CRITICAL. WE RECOMMEND THAT THE CUSTOMER FOLLOW
THESE SAFETY TIPS TO AVOID DATA LOSS.
- Back up, back up, back up! Always keep a current copy of your data on another type
of storage media. Test and verify your backups regularly. Keep at least one verified copy
offsite and secure.
- Invest in a comprehensive backup strategy. Consult your service provider about the
right backup solution for you.
- Back up and verify data before performing any system upgrades.
- Invest in an UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) for all your computer equipment to
protect against power spikes, blackouts and other power issues.
- Turn off external storage devices only after shutting down the computer to avoid possible
directory corruption from occurring.
- Purchase an anti-virus solution.
- Do not move the drive while it is operating.
- Provide adequate space around your computer equipment to allow for circulation and
cooling.
- If the drive was previously in a very cold environment, allow it to warm up to room
temperature before operating.
- If you hear unusual noises, turn off the unit immediately. These sounds may indicate a
mechanical problem that could result in permanent data loss.
DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES, REPRENETATIONS AND GUARANTEES:
THIS IS NOT A WARRANTY OR INSURANCE PLAN. THIS IS A DATA RECOVERY SERVICE PLAN. DATA RECOVERY
