With the new round of power failures caused by Eskom, there has been an increase in the reports of computers been damaged and unable to boot up.

While we recommend an interrupted power supply or battery backup system for your computer, these too, sometimes fail. In many cases, once the computer has been repaired, Eminance just keeps on working.

However, in some cases, the hard drives are being damaged, resulting in having to install new units. In addition, some are taking advantage of the power failures (Eskom load shedding) and are replacing their computers.

This once again demonstrates the importance of having good workable backups. One of the features that Eminance offers is the ability to backup to the cloud. This precaution ensures that if your computer is damaged, you can get back up and running quickly.
