One of the biggest causes of lost data for home and business users is quite simply the failure to back up essential business data or even home documents and photos so the simple answer has to be yes!

But (yes there is always a but it seems) using flash drives or memory sticks is all well and good but it is not without risk.

The biggest risk is that many people also use flash drives as their main form of storage and this is often the case with students who use flash drives for their essential course data and documents (which soon mount up over a number of years), or indeed mobile populations.

London is a typical example of this as many residents may be on temporary work assignments or they may be travelling around the world and a pen drive is far easier to carry your documents and photos on and pen drives are far less likely to be stolen than a laptop.

Flash memory is not infallible and pen drives can be prone to damage, corruption or even memory controller failures, Data in many cases will not actually be lost however, and by using the latest flash drive recovery techniques our technicians have an excellent recovery rate of data from failed memory devices.

If you want to adopt the belt and braces approach or you have larger amounts of data it is probably far better to use an reputable online backup system as your main mobile storage centre and then just keep a copy of your most needed files on your pen drive.
