💾 Keeping Your Data Safe

Hi Coastal Community!

It’s been too long since we last spoke. Things have been very busy here at RD3 Tech over the last few weeks!

Summer is on its way and the year is certainly cracking on. With another busy year coming to a close, now is a good time to stop and think about something that is easy to overlook — backing up your important data.

Photos, documents, business records, family memories and all the other files we rely on can be lost surprisingly easily through a failed hard drive, damaged computer, accidental deletion, theft or even a nasty bit of malware.

A good rule of thumb is to have two different copies of your important data, with at least one copy kept somewhere else.

Even having a single reliable backup is a huge improvement and can make a world of difference when something goes wrong.

Above all… keep your data safe!

If you’re not sure whether your backups are working properly, or you’d like some advice on the best way to protect your data, get in touch. I’m always happy to have a chat and point you in the right direction.

Thanks for your continued support!

🔌 Keeping Your Technology Safe During a Power Outage

Hi Coastal Community,

With many of us experiencing power issues at the moment, here are a few simple things you can do to help keep your computers and other technology safe.

  • Power off your computers if you’re experiencing outages or unstable power.
  • Unplug computers and other sensitive electronics from the wall where practical.
  • Use surge protection for your computers and other valuable electronics. A good surge protector can provide an extra layer of protection when the power comes back on.
  • Use portable chargers or power banks for phones and other essential devices if needed.

If the power is going on and off, it’s often better to leave sensitive equipment switched off until the power supply is stable again.

Most importantly, please stay safe. Your technology can be replaced — you can’t!

RD3 Tech wishes everyone in our community all the best while dealing with these power issues. I hope everyone stays safe and gets their power back soon.

If you’d like a consultation about your family’s IT needs, or you’re not sure how best to protect your computers, data and other technology, get in touch. I’m happy to help.

If you need any advice, give me a call or email.

Thanks for your continued support!

💻 Selling or Passing On an Old Computer?

Hi Coastal Community!

💻 Selling or Passing On an Old Computer?

Thinking of selling an old computer or passing it on to a friend or family member?

Before you hand it over, it’s important to make sure your personal information is properly removed.

RD3 Tech can help. We can securely remove your personal data and reset the computer ready for its new owner. If you’re moving to a new computer, we can also help transfer your important files and data across, or arrange a backup so you have a safe copy of your information.

Photos, documents, emails and other important files can be difficult — and sometimes impossible — to replace once they’re gone.

Please remember to back up regularly. No one wants to lose valuable information!

If you’re unsure what to do with your old computer or need help moving your data to a new one, give RD3 Tech a call or email. I’m happy to help.

Thanks for your continued support!
