Business Wire, Dec 8, 1998

NOVATO, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec. 8, 1998--DriveSavers, a leading national data recovery company in Novato, California, can serve as a source on how to care for computers during a blackout.

Nikki Stange, a data crisis counselor for DriveSavers, offers tips such as leaving your computer on could be a risk to your data or hard drive. She suggests unplugging your computer during the outage to protect your computer and data from a power surge that may accompany the return of power. She also suggests that the minute the power comes on, wait a half hour to allow for the power to stabilize before plugging your powercord into the electrical socket.

"DriveSavers is already well known for recovering data from 'severely traumatized' drives including drives that have been dropped, burnt, crushed and drowned," said Nikki.

DriveSavers has even recovered data from a Powerbook that sank to the bottom of the Amazon River. In addition, they rescue data lost to such "mundane" problems as viruses, power surges, user error, and mechanical wear.

Anyone seeking assistance should contact Nikki Stange, Data Crisis Counselor of DriveSavers at 800/440-1904. Stange will be available to answer questions, advise, counsel and arrange for data recovery service.
