This should scare you

After 30 years in tech, I've encountered countless issues ranging from broken hard drives to stolen computers. I'm still astonished that people generally do not take better care of their data.

00:00Being in tech for as long as I have I've seen so many so many

00:07Problems

00:09everything from broken hard drives to lost data to stolen computers and

00:16I'm still amazed

00:18To this day after doing this for 30 years. Why no one really takes care of their

00:25data

00:26Thing is the data is the most important thing with your computer your computer you can go and buy another one

00:32Okay, it might be hard work to pay for it, but you can get another computer. You can use another computer

00:40But to have your data safe and secure is way more

00:46important than any

00:49Any device I could lose this

00:52Go and buy another one annoyingly

00:55But I know that the way I have it set up I can get everything back. This is what I do for my clients and

01:02I think it was last year where I worked

01:06With a client of mine who had her computer

01:10Stolen or lost it was on a train and she called me and she was completely distraught as to oh my god

01:18I've lost everything

01:19Well, I reminded her we did all the work that she actually hasn't lost anything go and get another computer

01:27She got another computer while she was at the store. I told her to log into her accounts and everything BAM. It was all there

01:35but the thing that people don't realize is that they

01:40People are so busy with their lives and so busy with their work. They don't really think about backups and

01:47Anything drastic happening until it happens when it happens

01:54I've had clients cry because they've lost photos. They've lost data. They've lost their client information. They've lost client work

02:02I've had people lose client work and

02:05It's um, it's crazy

02:08But there is light at the end of that horrible tunnel

02:12Listening to the ice cream van come round

02:16You're gonna hear that you'll probably hear that there is light at the end of this tunnel and that is to actually get

02:23your

02:25Devices and data safe and secure in such a way where you don't have to worry about it. And again, this is what I do

02:34Sounds like a sales pitch now, but this is basically what I do

02:38I help people to make sure that this stuff is secure simply they can work easily, etc, etc

02:45So, yeah, just make sure you have your stuff backed up. It's the weekend

02:51So, please take this time to make sure and ensure that everything is secure and backed up. And if not

02:58There are people like me that can help you out

03:01Anyway, enjoy your weekend and I'll see you in the next one. Ciao. Bye. Bye
