Common causes of data loss around Athens-Clarke County

Athens summers are long, hot, and humid, with frequent afternoon thunderstorms and lightning. A strike near a house can send a surge through power or network lines into a computer, and storms bring brief outages that catch drives mid-write. Humidity also speeds corrosion in older homes with damp crawl spaces and basements. Use a surge protector or UPS on important equipment, keep drives in dry interior rooms, and unplug sensitive electronics when a strong storm is overhead.

Tall trees across Athens neighborhoods make outages common during windstorms, severe thunderstorms, and occasional winter ice, when limbs fall on lines. The region also sees tornado warnings in spring. Repeated power loss is hard on NAS units and desktops, and a falling tree can damage a home office. Shut equipment down during prolonged flickers, keep a backup in the cloud, and keep at least one copy of irreplaceable files away from home.

My university laptop died. Can you recover it?+

Check with your department's IT staff first, since university-owned devices may have backups, encryption, or rules about outside services. If they approve, have any encryption password or recovery key ready, since recovered data generally cannot be read without it. For personal devices, confirm online for a free shipping label.
