Keep everything that matters.
Your files handled carefully by a local Nassau County tech and kept private, whether you're moving, backing up, or recovering.
Data transfer, backup & recovery
Transfer to a new computer
All your files, photos, documents, and settings moved from an old machine to a new one, ready to use. Files move over on an external drive from brands like Western Digital, Seagate and Samsung, or a flash drive from SanDisk or Kingston.
File & photo recovery
Lost, deleted, or hard-to-reach files recovered, as long as the drive itself is still intact. That includes USB flash drives and memory cards.
Backups set up
Automatic backups configured so your important files stay protected going forward. I usually use OneDrive on Windows, iCloud on Apple devices, and Google Drive or Dropbox when they fit better.
Failing drive rescue
When a hard drive starts to fail, I get your data off it safely before it's too late.
Private & careful
Your photos, records, and personal files are treated like my own, and kept completely private.
What to do, and what to expect.
Protecting your files starts before I arrive.
Stop using the drive
If a drive is clicking or freezing, or files are disappearing, turn the computer off. More use can make data loss worse.
Tell me what happened
A short note on what you noticed and when helps me decide where to start.
I check what's readable
If the drive still works, I copy your files off first, before any other work begins.
Free diagnosis first
Recovery from a failing or dead drive is quoted after a free diagnosis, so you know the cost before work starts.
Honest about the odds
Severe failures may need a specialty lab. I will tell you so, and I will not promise a recovery I cannot deliver.
Backups going forward
I set up automatic backups so your important files stay protected after this is fixed.
