Backup! It's easy.
Starting at $99.00

Time Machine

An unfortunate truth about Hard Drives and storage in general is that they will fail at some point. It's part of the technology and affects everyone at some time in their computing lives. Whether you are using a Mac or PC, less than a month old or 5 years old, you should have a backup solution in place. But fear not! It's easy.

Your Mac (Mac OS X 10.5 or later) comes with an application built-in called Time Machine. Time Machine can use any external hard drive and make hourly, daily and weekly backups of your entire system including documents, photos, videos, music and settings.

Come see us to make sure you have everything you need to protect your important files.
