With more data going digital the need to backup personal and business data is becoming necessary these days. One of my neighbors brought over a laptop the other night after the hard drive failed in it and informed me that all of his honeymoon pictures were on it. The drive was completely toast and he was in the dog house to say the least. He took the drive to Best Buy the next morning and paid the Geek Squad $59 to tell him the same exact thing. They offered to send the drive off to another repair facility where the prices started at $259 and the sky was the limit. He ended up sending the drive off to Drive Savers and refused to tell me how much he paid to get the data recovered. If I had to guess it was close to a thousand dollars, which isn't bad depending on what exactly is being recovered.
