Rescuecom Shares Seven Ways to Avoid Needing Data Recovery
/EINPresswire.com/ SYRACUSE, N.Y., May 17th -- Did you know that roughly one out of every four computer users experiences data loss and needs Data Recovery? If you aren't actively taking steps to prevent data loss from happening, you are in turn taking on that risk. So instead of chancing away irreplaceable personal and business assets, RESCUECOM can offer you seven simple ways to prevent data loss from ever interfering with your life.
1. Back Up
Whatever it is that you find valuable on your computer, whether it be family photos, financial data or business records, if you don't wish to lose it, back it up. It doesn't matter if you choose CDs, external USB drives, Secure offsite backup, or even floppy disks, having your data backed up, and backed up regularly, will save you from costly data recovery.
2. Assist Yourself with an Antivirus
Malicious computer viruses are one of the main culprits of data loss. Employing adequate antivirus software and keeping it up-to-date, will protect you from damaging viruses by preventing, detecting and removing viruses for you. This will not only prevent data loss, but also assist in minimizing the need for computer support.
3. Follow Proper Shut Down Practices
Shutting down your computer seems simple enough, but shutting down without properly closing out files and applications first can actually cause you to lose data.
4. Be Prepared for Power Surges
One single sudden power surge or numerous barely noticeable surges over time are actually one of the most regular causes of hard drive damage and data loss. Preparing yourself for these surges with an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) will ensure your files and hardware won't be damaged by a sudden shut down.
5. Exploit the Experts
Never attempt repairs or computer operations you aren't experienced with; you can damage your hardware, your data and sometimes yourself. Computer support is made available to you 24/7, so make your life easier by having the experts do the work for you.
6. Practice Good Maintenance
Practicing a little maintenance can go a long way when it comes to extending the life of your computer and preventing data loss. Removing unnecessary files, checking for hard drive errors, defragmenting to improve performance and installing operating system updates are all part of basic upkeep that will help you avoid data recovery.
7. Look For Warning Signs
If you begin noticing unusual noises from your computer or a sluggish performance, these are potential symptoms of a problem; be sure to back up your data and contact computer support for expert advice or a necessary solution.
