The Weycrest Knowledgebase

I was burgled the other week, which was one of the worst experiences (especially with our wonderful police force turning up promptly 7 hours later to check things out!) . A lot of personal stuff was taken including laptops and memory sticks, though importantly all of my critical data was backed up to Depositit.

I’ve spoken to quite a few people over the past week who have explained to me that their Backup Solution is using ‘Memory Sticks’?! I never believed in this method before and totally do not now. We all use them and they are convenient for passing data across but anyone depending on them for their full backup is 100% misguided. The same applies to anyone using an external drive, if I had one it would have been taken along with all the data on it. Most people don’t encrpyt their files either, so the drive would be taken and all info would be easily available – crazy!

There is no substitute for a remote backup solution. I have now personally experienced computer crash, accidental deletion and theft and a flood, each time Depositit has delivered back my information safely and quickly to the replacement machine!
