Configure a backup for your important files.
If you aren’t already, now is the time to load all of your birth certificates, marriage certificates, passport photo copies, identification copies, citizenship and other irreplaceable documents into a file for access online. Storing these in the cloud can be a great way to know they will always be accessible should the worst case scenario occur, but space and size limitations can become an issue. Configuring a more permanent solution that factors in heritage documents, insurance information, family photos and other things you will want in an emergency exit that will back up to a specific source is a great option.
Recover misplaced, lost or deleted data.
This is a BIG factor for all of our residential clients. If you haven’t configured a backup for your important documents or photo library – you might just lose it all. A computer repairs service will be able to help you in 9 out of 10 cases, but it’s always better to be safe then sorry. It’ll most likely happen the day before a big report is due or half way through an online application that is important, just to inconvenience you further. Getting an emergency call in to a computer repairs service increases your chances.
Set up new equipment, including tablets and smart phones.
It’s not everyday that you set up a new device on your network, but if you aren’t really savvy with technology, you might not be getting the best out of your device! Consider having a professional in to set up your new gadget and get it running in line with your other lifestyle tools. Take it out of the too hard basket and call a specialist.
Secure your computers and network
Creating a network for your family to use is really important. It enables you to share files, access the internet from all devices and create fluidity in your home. Unfortunately that same inconvenience can be extended to your pesky neighbours should they be cunning enough to get into your network. Most people are only interested in accessing your wifi network, but there’s the wider issue of your file sharing network being breached. That can mean your childrens photos, shared budget information with your partner and passwords can be accessed! Don’t let your internet become the neighbourhood supply – get a IT CON serviceman out to your place to provide top grade security to protect your provider bill, file sharing and network access points and keep your family safe.
