sending to repairs should i back up my files

Hi Shamzy. I think it it always a good idea to have your files backed up weather you are having it repaired or not, and, even more important in this case. I would also delete any personal and business files after I have backed them up. Why, risk giving out personal info?

Yes you must back up your files and if you think some files caryy secret information like account number password etc ...delete them after backing up ... Thanks Ganesh

Better backup your data before you hand your computer to the computer shop. It is a problem on some people why they do not backup their files. It's the sole responsibility of the user to put it on a safe place.

Hi, yes that's definitely the golden rule whenever you are having your computer serviced or checked over. If there is anything of vital importance on your system, back it up. You don't want to start getting involved as regards disputes on data loss. I always, carry out backups one per week so that my backups are always up to date. Andrew

Definitely back up your files. If they screw up while checking out your computer, you may lose valuable information. Also, you can't always trust these guys. They might go through your files so better protect you more private files. I suggest you back it up on DVD's or CD's or maybe buy an external hard drive.
