Data recovery in Naperville, IL for one clear price

Common causes of data loss around Naperville

Northern Illinois summers bring fast-moving thunderstorms with lightning, damaging straight-line winds, and occasional tornadoes, and the western suburbs have seen serious tornado damage in recent years. Storms that knock out power for hours also stop sump pumps, which is how many finished basements in Naperville end up with water on the floor. Keep desktops, NAS units, and external drives off the basement floor, put them on a UPS rather than a plain power strip, and consider a battery backup for the sump pump so a long outage does not reach your equipment.

Winters are cold and can bring ice storms and heavy snow that bring down lines and leave homes without heat or power. Laptops carried from a car that sat overnight in sub-zero temperatures should warm up slowly before being opened and switched on, since condensation can form on cold electronics. The DuPage River also rises after heavy rain, so homes and businesses near it should keep important equipment and backups on upper floors and store a second copy of key files somewhere outside the house.
