Alt IT Services supports computer users. It's a typical computer support shop in one sense - I do fix computers, set up networks, and all the other things typical computer shops do. But I offer more than that. I help people use their computers better, understand them, and hopefully enjoy them more. I help businesses understand their needs and find better ways to get things done. I offer a personalized support experience that takes the person using the computer into consideration. I understand that everyone uses and understands their computers differently and should receive help accordingly. My services include: Mac and PC support - onsite, drop off, or remote support, One on one customized training on most common PC and Mac OS's and software, and IT Consultation for business.

I've partnered with Gillware to offer their great backup service. They offer a good solution for off site backup of your critical data. The first 2 GB is always free and then they only charge 50 cents per GB after that. You only pay for what you use and there is no long term contract to sign. There are a couple of options for setting up the backups. One is to use it 'out of the box' - it scans your entire computer and backups up the most common file types. For some that is too broad a scheme so a second option is to turn off the file type based backup and simply tell it which folders to back up. Here is a link to download the software. It costs nothing to get started - remember the first 2 GB is free and you have to tell it to back up more than that - so you won't be charged unless you increase the backup limits. https://remotedbs.com/AManager/download/installer.action?brand=altit&subsidiary=altitservices

If you'd like, I can set up the backups for you. I also offer monitoring and testing of your backups should you need that service. Call if you have questions or go ahead download and install the software and get started today!

Hard drives fail - it's a fact of life. Sometimes I can coax data off a failing drive or fix a software issue to get your drive working again. But when the cause of the drive failure involves internal problems, I refer the case to Gillware Inc., the best data recovery lab I've found. Gillware operates a clean room environment, and their trained engineers will evaluate your drive and provide an estimate to recover your data. Once their recovery process is complete, Gillware shows you a list of recovered files; you pay only if you are happy with what's been recovered. Data losses can be devastating, and we're here to make sure you have the best possible chance at recovery. Call me for more information about this service.
