The hard disk of my laptop just stopped responding and it was a crash.. all my data had not been backed up and all efforts to restore it just failed.. after spending one and half days on it.. decided to get professional help.. and thankfully.. all was safe.. it was a huge sigh of relief.. but the most important thing was the fact that I had learnt an important lesson.. something which we all know.. but more often than not tend to ignore.. our idea of “All being Perfect” always wins.. until we are cornered to a situation which demands us to think otherwise..

My sincere advise to all professionals and people using computers,laptops: Design and devise a backup plan for your data right now.. lest its too late.. and follow it religiously (better..schedule it to run automatically)

Some of the backup tools that I am currently using are:

Autover:

AutoVer is a configurable automatic or real time backup and personal versioning system. It can be used as a simple real time backup or as a more complex, but transparent version control system.

Backup to FTP server:  A real time backup solution that backs up your files/data to a pre designated FTP location, available as full backup or incremental backup mode.

Well.. if this article is a bit late.. and you have a problem.. would like to salvage your data on an old pc etc.. contact us at sales@smartaims.com with your problem and we will try and help you recover that.
