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.
You can contact Proven Solutions Toronto Computer Services (phone 416-227-2290) about your needs for a backup system today.

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)




Here are a few of the 140 items that Proven Solutions Toronto Computer Service will check for:

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.
