Frequently Asked Questions About Data Backup & Transfer
What's the difference between backup and data recovery?
Backup is proactive, we copy your data while everything still works so you are protected if something fails later. Data recovery is emergency, it pulls files off a drive that has already failed or been deleted. If your data is already lost, you need data recovery instead.
Can you move everything to my new computer?
Yes. We do Mac-to-Mac and PC-to-PC transfers, moving your photos, documents, and programs so your new machine is ready to use. Bring both computers in, or just the old one and its drive.
Do you set up automatic backups?
Yes. We configure scheduled, automatic backups to an external drive or the cloud so your data keeps copying itself without you having to remember. Set it once and you are protected going forward.
Will my data stay private?
Yes. Your data is handled in-shop by our local team, copied to the destination you choose, and never shared. We treat your photos and files like our own.
How much does backup or transfer cost?
It depends on how much data you have and the destination, so we give you a clear quote first, before any work begins. No surprises. Call (619) 255-4333 for a quote.
