We will diagnose your needs, equipment and methods of working and recommend the system we feel will suit you best on your budget.
External Hard Drives
External hard drives are the most popular form of data backup for home users. We can pair your external hard drive with a business-grade back up software, and schedule regular, automated backups.
We also suggest pairing an external hard drive with cloud storage. Having two forms of backup will ensure your data is 100% secure.
Cloud Storage - See pricing plans coming soon
Cloud storage refers to uploading your data to a secure, off-site server on the internet. Your files can be accessed from any computer, smart phone, and tablet anywhere in the world using your login details. This means that even if your entire home or office is destroyed, your files will be safe.
We can setup automatic cloud storage backups, and teach you how to transfer files from one computer to another with apps such as Dropbox.
Network Attached Storage (NAS)
A NAS system is ideal for more advanced home and office users. NAS lies somewhere between an external hard drive and cloud storage. It connects to your home or office network, and allows every connected device to access the same files. We can also setup an NAS that allows files to be access via the internet.
