Protect yourself against Hard Disk Failure and Ransomware

Have you thought about what you would do if your Hard Disk suddenly failed or you got infected by Ransomware like Cryptolocker? You may have a backup of your Data but do you have the correct Operating system disks, licence key, disks for your installed programs and their licence keys?

Without the above the rebuild becomes a tricky task and you may not have some of the programs that you previously had. Having a cloned disk gets you around this so that you are up and running again straight away, with your Operating system and all your programs in place all you need to do is use your backup to bring your data fully up to date.

Disk Cloning is also a solution if you have run out of space and need a bigger Hard Drive but don’t want to start from scratch reinstalling Windows and all your other programs.

Disk Cloning is an easy way to get a point in time Backup and used in conjunction with a good backup strategy is a quick fix to a difficult problem.

Churchdown Computers provide a Disk Cloning service for £45 subject to the following.

  • You supply a new disk which is equal or greater than the size of the original hard disk
  • The disk is SATA
  • The disk doesn’t exceed 3TB
  • You live within 10 miles of Churchdown
If you live further than 10 miles from Churchdown we are still able to offer this service with the additional mileage charged at 50p per mile both ways. So for instance if you live 15 miles away an additional £5 would be payable.
