Not All BackUp Systems are Created Equally!
Now Allan visited a client this past week and he asked her if she wanted her existing computer backed up because she had important photos and other data on it.
She told him that she already had one in place that a previous I.T. had put in.
Allan checked the backup for her and there was nothing on it past 2012.
They checked it together to see if they could find anything current.
It was obviously not doing the job.
She told him that before she was using a Clickfree backup system and it apparently had not been working right either.
It was supposed to be an automatic system that she never had to check once it was installed.
What is the sense of a backup system that fails?
It is a false sense of security.
Your computer might crash.
You might accidentally delete something you really need.
The backup system Proven Solutions Toronto Computer Services provides allows you to retrieve individual files or folders.
You can also restore your complete hard drive in case it crashes.
Since Allan knows that backing up is very important to so many people, he always has a backup system that he believes in with him at all times in his on-site service kit.
His clients can always choose to have Proven Solutions Toronto Computer Service monitor if it is working on a daily basis.
He can check remotely that it is working properly at no extra charge.
He can literally show you that there are current files on it.
It is one thing to put in a backup system but it is another matter if it works!
Allan is up to date on the best affordable backup systems out there.
He researches thoroughly.
He knows what questions to ask.
So far all the backup systems have worked properly.

BACK UP, BACK UP, BACK UP. It can happen to any computer - OLD OR NEW
Another small disaster story from not having a back up in place.
Wow, she thought her Macbook was immune to hard drive failure so she never backed up her stuff. Here is the article in the Toronto Star. Her solid state drive failed abruptly. This can happen to any Computer, Desktop or Laptop at any time obviously. It is best to always be prepared. There are many ways of backing up your data. If you prefer your data backed up at home, (not in the cloud) you can buy an external hard drive with special software that automatically backs up your computer every day. Proven Solution Toronto Computer Services has helped many people get a back up system in place. It is worth the one time investment to have that peace of mind that your precious stuff is backed up!
Proven Solutions Toronto Computer Services can also recover your data from a failed hard drive at a very reasonable rate if you had not backed it up.
Contact Proven Solutions Toronto Computer Services (phone: 416-227-2290) for any inquiries about Data Back up and Data Recovery today.

Why My Dell Inspiron 1520 (2007) Keeps on Running Smoothly
My Dell Laptop Inspiron 1520 gets a Maintenance Preventive Tune Up every 6 months. It is almost 7 years old and it keeps running well. Okay I admit, I was the one who cleaned out the crumbs from between the keys and wiped it down really well for the photo shoot, but really.....doesn't it still look like new and it runs like new too! (obviously doesn't run as fast as newer models do)
1. Clean up your registry and temporary files carefully
2. Remove unwanted programs and files
3. Check if your operating system updates are installed.
4. Check if security programs are installed and properly working.
5. Allan or I will clean your computer so it shines like new (just like mine).
If you have a Desktop, Proven Solutions can vacuum out the dust that has collected inside your computer. If you have dogs or cats, this can be critical. You would not believe the dust and hair that can accumulate and over heat your system
which can destroy your hard drive etc.....
This maintenance program should be performed on new computers too at least every 6 months to keep your computer running smoothly and preventing little problems from turning into bigger headaches.

Proven Solutions Makes Sense Of Your Network.
Clients will call Proven Solutions Toronto Computer Service when they can't figure out why their internet is not working.
Allan is a fantastic sleuth. It can be a very complex set up but Allan can break it down into small parts and solve the culprit that is causing the problem.
You really have to know how the network works, and what can cause the issues with it (you would be surprised at what these factors could be)
in order to pinpoint the problem. He truly can call himself a network expert.

WOW. The Terminator is so Organized. He can show you the WAY !
Do you need help organizing yourself ?
I know I think more clearly when my space and brain are clutter free.
The Organizer uses a paper tickler filing system combined with a digital tickler filing system to organize himself.
A tickler file system is a major organizational asset. It's purpose is to literally “tickle your memory” by making certain that each thing you need to do is filed by a specific date. It is often a superior organizational tool. The paper tickler system allows you to keep track of small pieces of paper, like business cards, or invoices, that could ordinarily get lost somewhere on your desk, on the floor or in your pockets.
The paper tickler filing system combined with Outlook is The Organizer's First Choice.
The Organizer can show you how to use OUTLOOK (or another program you may prefer) to help you list everything you need to get done in your life (personal/business) in an organized fashion, prioritize your tasks, get notified when they are supposed to get done, and if they are no longer a priority that day, set them to another day that might work better for you.
(If you are having trouble wrapping your head around the paper tickler filing system, he can help you set that up and explain it to you "all so clearly", that it will be an AHA moment.)
I can tell you first hand, even if you are having an off day
and feeling lazy, The Organizer can still keep you on track,
and help you realize that certain things can really be put off to a later date.
The key really is..to not have to deal with stuff until you have to,
and to be reminded when that is without it all staring you in the face to overwhelm you.
There are so many tricks that The Organizer has mastered to help you GTD.

The Organizer uses a paper tickler filing system combined with a digital tickler filing system to organize himself.
The tickler system can be extremely helpful for GTD (shorthand for "Getting Things Done" coined by David Allen).
The tickler system can help transform your overwhelming and overloaded workload to an integrated system that will promote productivity.

Don't Let Your Computer Get Caught Unprotected
We had that terrible Wind Storm Last Night. Some of The GTA's electricity was knocked out suddenly. Did your computer survive it? Proven Solutions recommends a Battery back-up.
This provides an uninterrupted power supply (UPS), to your computer and other electrical devises plugged into it ..such as your monitor.
When the power goes out, a battery back up will protect the computer from shutting down suddenly. You might lose your data or your programs and operating system might get corrupted if this occurs.
Most battery backup devices also ensure that the electricity flowing to your computer and other accessories is free from any electrical surges at anytime.This is important as it can prevent damage from happening as discussed above.
Allan had a call from a client that had an electrical surge in their factory and he had to spend many hours resetting their server because they had not thought it was important to have a battery back-Up. They not only had to pay Proven Solutions for the time spent, but Production had to stop while the repair was done. Now they realize that the money invested into a proper UPS system is much more cost effective.
It is not always easy to know what type of UPS your computer and network may need. There is special software to install too.
You can go and check this site which is way too technical and complex for me or you can contact Proven Solutions Toronto Computer Services (phone: 416-227-2290) to help you out.

Is Paper Best For Privacy?
After reading this Article today, I am really nostalgic for private information on Paper.
I love paper. I think you can keep stuff on paper way more private with much less tampering too. The problem is that paper marks fade and paper can go up in smoke!
I am not sure, but I still prefer paper.
Though, if I wrote my memoirs on paper...someone could interpret them anyway they wanted, since my writing is
totally illegible for sure. I bet they would write a great story about me!
