DATA BACKUP OR TRANSFER
Precious pictures, a massive music collection and important documents could all easily be deleted by mistake. We keep our whole world on our computers these days, but what if a virus destroys your hard drive or you accidentally delete a folder?
- Have an Agent visit you At Home to backup your desktop
- Bring your laptop to The Carphone Warehouse or Best Buy
- We show how to make on-going backups to keep stuff safe
When you buy a new laptop or desktop, we can also transfer over all the data from one machine to the other. We'll show you how to make a one-off backup to DVD, an external hard drive, USB stick or online and teach you how to automate further backups, so it does it all for you without thinking.
| Choose one | In Store | At home | Over the Phone |
| One-off cost | £19.99 | £79.99 | £19.99 |
| With membership only £6.99 per month | FREE | £63.99 | FREE |
Even if only to USB stick, you must get into the habit of making regular backups. External hard drives can often do it automatically. For images, consider using free web photo sites like Google Picasa.

Keep your music, movies and documents safe
Making a copy of your data online is easy to manage and it is done by millions of people every day. This process stores your files in what is known as "The Cloud". That simply means they are uploaded to an internet server and kept safe and secure ready to download when you need them or if you lose them. Our £6.99 a month Geek Squad Tech Support membership offers customers 20GB of free online storage space which will do the job perfectly.
