YES, Definitely. We have seen this over and over again, a computer is brought in with a hard drive that is so damaged that we are unable to retrieve any data from it. This can be a disaster for a business when bookkeeping information or other crucial data is lost.
Ask Yourself "Can I replace these pictures or files if my computer hard drive fails?" If the answer is NO then be sure to make regular backups to a floppy, CD, DVD, flash drive or an external drive.
Sometimes we are able to retrieve information from a failed or failing hard drive but it can be time consuming. The alternative is to send your hard drive to a data recovery specialist, but who wants to pay $1500 to recover files that could have been backed up in just a few minutes on your own. I would suggest making a backup monthly or more frequently depending on the importance of and the changes made to your files.
We can help you set up an automatic backup system to protect your crucial data.
