frightening reality to computer crashes, is that warning signs are few – if they exist – and if you know what to look for these signs can be very difficult to be

identify> page> For this reason, a backup computer needs every day because it is almost impossible to know whether or when your disk is in danger of imminent collapse

I often tell potential customers dismissively, “Well, I bought it.’s computer recently – it’s almost new all -. I do not have to worry about backing up only “

And when I tell them about Google, the largest owner of computer hard drives in the world.

In February 2007, Google, research conducted by their computers, entitled Failure Trends in a large disk drive population. According to the study, the most comprehensive of its kind ever completed, hard drives very likely doomed to failure if they are less than 3 months or more than 2 years. Basically, if you think a backup computer is unnecessary, because the computer is new, you may be in terrible shock. Hi

, but if you’re still determined to keep birth control for everything, until you personally a problem, see with your computer, there is evidence that some – if you’re lucky enough to spot them – show that you can make your computer critical danger of collapse. I want to emphasize that these warnings may or may not be clear. The absence of one or all of these signs does not mean your disk is clear.

Remember that the hard drive crash can happen unexpectedly at any time equal chance to show that it is ridiculously small, and certainly not the risk. Your company is working on a computer without a daily automatic backup offsite is a recipe for bankruptcy, more than 70% of businesses with large data loss in a year business.

This means that here are some warning signs that may make your computer at risk of disk failure:

a slow computer to boot (start).

If you find that your computer does not start soon, as usually happens, and decrease speed can not access the installation of new software message – anti-virus because of, the failed disk may block / sectors suffer.

your hard drive contains magnetic coated metal plates, which rotate at a speed of about 5400 times a minute. If these disks (or their coating) is damaged in some way, a catastrophic failure within 6 months is expected.

2 computer starts humming, and / or make noise.

Change the way the computer can sound indicates that the disks are hard drive problems, completing their rotation. Remember that your computer has moving parts and these parts are in close proximity to each other. Dust particles, not visible to the human eye can damage the plates to delay the movement, not to mention the metal fingers of these disks support.

3 Your computer has a read / write error, or indicates that the disk has failed. To respond

According to Google, the research firm noted above, hard drives are 30 times more likely within 60 days, fail to experience the first scan error, drives as well to preserve such errors.

So how can your computer from crashing?

1 the number one BEST way to protect your computer (your company) is not to try and protect it from collapse, but to design the data recovery after a crash.

The reason for this is that it does not prevent fail-safe way to crash a computer. Simply search for “automatic backup computer” and the name of your county, city or another country with one of many online storage services available.

2 enlisted the services of a reputable IT service company offers a monthly service contracts, and they should clean and check the hard drive at regular intervals.

regular cleaning of the hard drive not only extend the life of your PC, but to reduce the risk of data loss.

3 asked you to scan your computer for bad blocks errors.

computer may warn not friendly enough, automatically, when sectors of the disk may be damaged, but you can ask it to scan without problems. Continue as follows:

* Right click on My Computer, select Manage .*, then the computer screen is divided between the right management and the left .* look at the left side of the Event Viewer, click the click the plus sign on the left. List will appear below. * Click on the system. The list is on the right side of the screen .* scroll the list of search for any red “X” error values. These values ​​indicate a problem exists .* Double-clicking the red “X” Calendar Properties values, which tell you more about the error.

Finally, I would recommend that you commit, right now, backing up your computer through a secure external storage service.
