DATA BACKUP - RECOVERY - TRANSFER
Are You Covered?
Hard Drive Noise.
If
Your hard drive is
making a clicking
noise or grinding
noise it is a final
warning sign that it
is about to fail.
You should call us
immediately to copy
all your information
to a new hard drive.
This process takes
about an hour. If
you do not do this
and you do not have
a backup, the hard
drive will have to
be sent out to
recover the
information which
will cost between
$700 - $2700. Hard
drives last between
3 to 5 years.
Download and install
the program below to
see how your hard
drives are doing.
All
you have to do is
install it and it
does the rest. If a
message comes up
that a failure is
predicted contact us
immediately to
backup and restore
your data to a new
hard drive. Before
installing it make
sure you do not
already have a
S.M.A.R.T. program
installed. You can
check this by
looking in your
system tray.

Are your digital photos sitting on a single hard drive with no backup? Your
financial records? Even at home, there is critical data you wouldn't want to
lose when a hard drive fails or a virus (or wayward child) deletes your files.
MindPride can help you figure out a convenient and effective way to protect
your data by making redundant copies of it either on other computers or on
offline media such as CD-ROM, DVD-ROM, or tape.
In many cases automated processes can be created that require very little
attention or maintenance.

Data Backup Solutions
In today's world, it takes more than an occasional file copy to floppy disk
to handle your backup needs. Floppy disks just don't cut it for backing up
your data. MindPride can assess your backup needs based on the types of
files you create, and put together a solution that fits.
Look here for different backup solutions
Multi-PC Data Backup
You can introduce a lot of additional data protection simply by copying data
between multiple computers on the same network. This process can be
automated, so that computers "synchronize" with each other periodically.
MindPride can set this up for you as part of a comprehensive scheme for protecting
your systems against loss of valuable/irreplaceable data such as financial
records, family digital photos, etc.
Data Transfer
Sometimes you need to move data from one computer to another. In the case
of moving all your email data, web favorites, application data, etc. it may not
be clear (or easy) to recreate the same data on the destination computer.
MindPride can do this for you.
Data Recovery
If the unthinkable occurs, there may be a way out. In the case of hard
drive failure, for example, it is often possible to recover lost data using
highly technical tools. MindPride can quickly help you determine what your
options are, and in many cases recover at least some of your data. Of course, if
you contact us now, we can help you to set up a robust data backup scheme, and
you most likely won't ever need this service!
We Also Cover Solutions For Assorted Memory Media, Such As:
Memory Stick Recovery
Digital Image Recovery
Compact Flash Image Recovery
CD, CD-R, CD-RW, Tapes, Etc.

What To Do When
Disaster Happens
When you experience a
data loss situation it is extremely important that you not act
hastily to try to resolve the problem. Doing so can make matters
worse and could result in the complete and permanent loss of your
data. If you don't understand what is happening with your system,
don't do anything but seek the advice of a
hard drive recovery
professional.
If your drive is making
any unusual noises such as clicking, grinding or metal
scraping, turn it off immediately! This condition typically
indicates a head crash and major media damage. Hard disks spin at
a high rate of speed, anywhere from 3200 to 10,000 revolutions per
minute. Extensive damage can occur in a short period of time if a
drive is left running, making the data irretrievable. In this
situation it is best to turn off the system and
CALL US
for hard drive repair.
If you've accidentally
deleted files, emptied the Recycle Bin or Trash Can, don't install
any software or save additional files to your drive. Doing so may
permanently overwrite the deleted items. If you are in the middle
of a project when you discover files are missing, or you believe
they have been deleted, save the current project to a floppy disk,
or another storage device. Don't write, install software, or save
anything to the drive where the missing files were located.
If you tempted to use
commercial utility software such as Norton Utilities, and would
like to attempt recovery on your own, you might render your data
completely unrecoverable. We use high level recovery software
costing thousands of dollars to recover data. In fact, some of the
software we use is not for sale at any price! Amateurs Beware!!
Getting Started
Call us for a no cost rough
idea on hard drive
recovery,
turn around time and success estimate.
Inform us about the
following:
1) What operating
system you are running: Windows, DOS, Mac OS, Novell NetWare, or
UNIX. If you are not sure, just tell us the model and make of your
computer.
2) The physical capacity of
your drive or other storage media that has failed. If you don't
know we'll try to help you find out. The model number of the drive
is also useful but not required. Raid data recovery is also
available and it is recommended that the entire server is
submitted with the drives and controller used when the failure
occurred.
3) If the drive is
using compression such as DriveSpace, DoubleSpace, Stacker or
Times Two. These programs compress the directory and work
differently than file level compression like Zip, DiskDoubler or
StuffIt archives.
4) If you are using any
password protection or encryption software. We will need to know
what program you are using, the version and the password.
5) About the current problem,
any particular symptoms or steps that led to the situation.
Recovery Completion Process
In the event that
MindPride is able to do a hard drive repair and retrieve your
files, we offer several means of returning them to you. Depending
on the size and amount of recovered files,, they may be placed on
floppy diskette, Iomega ZIP Diskette, CD or DVD. They may also be
placed directly onto a replacement hard drive, provided by
MindPride, the customer, or a third party, such as the
drive manufacturer or an extended warranty corporation.
*Remember to
BACK-UP
often. Don't take chances with important data! Hard drive
recovery should not be your last resort!
