How can power outages cause desktop data loss?
Many people don’t realize that an issue with the power supply can lead to data loss. But our team of US data recovery experts frequently help customers whose data was lost during a power outage.
When power outages occur, desktops are suddenly turned off without notice. This not only leads to the loss of any unsaved data, but it can also lead to the corruption of existing files.
A sudden power outage can also have a long-term impact on the desktop’s hard drive, with frequent outages making the device more likely to crash, while significantly reducing its lifespan.
So how do you protect yourself from the data loss associated with power outages? Making regular, automated backups will help avoid data loss if outages do occur, while surge protectors can help protect your desktop from damage.
