Back up your work.
Check you can
get it back.

A practical backup routine and a sample recovery check.

Set up a manageable backup for an agreed set of working folders, then check that a small sample can be restored to a separate location. You keep ownership of the storage and recovery information.

Personal help from David. Scope and suitability agreed before booking.

Practical help.
Clear boundaries.

01 / ONE COMPUTER

Agree a manageable folder set

One supported working computer and one agreed folder set, up to 50GB. Check compatibility, file volume and a suitable destination before accepting the work.

02 / CUSTOMER STORAGE

Keep ownership clear

Use backup software and storage you control. Drives, provider subscriptions, capacity and paid licences are separate costs.

03 / A USEFUL SCHEDULE

Document the routine

Agree the schedule, retention and encryption-key ownership. The written scope explains what is backed up, exclusions and the recovery route.

04 / SAMPLE RECOVERY

Check a file can come back

Restore a small agreed sample to a separate location and check it with you. A successful sample does not guarantee recovery of every file or a whole computer.

05 / OPTIONAL CHECKS

A bounded monthly check

Optional £29/month checks cover the agreed backup report and one small sample restore, up to 15 minutes routine work. Faults and remediation are quoted separately; no rollover.

06 / HANDOVER

Know the recovery steps

A short practical handover and notes. Full-system recovery, damaged-media recovery, emergency response and ongoing unlimited support are excluded.

Work and handover

The agreed work is completed and checked with you, with a practical handover and any next steps made clear.

Clear about the details.

Is the monthly check compulsory?

No. Setup can be bought alone. Optional £29/month checks cover the agreed backup report and one small sample restore, up to 15 minutes routine work. Faults, extra investigation and repairs are separate; unused time does not roll over.

Are drives and cloud storage included?

No. Drives, storage, software licences and subscriptions are separate. Capacity, retention and recovery-key ownership are agreed before setup.

Can you recover a broken disk or my whole computer?

Damaged-media recovery, full-system recovery and emergency incident response are excluded. This is a setup and small sample-check service for accessible working folders.

Is this already included in another package?

Computer setup, website care and other services may include backup work. We review the existing brief and quote only for distinct additional work. We do not resell the same check twice.

What do you
have in mind?
