Nerds On Call Will Safely Back Up Your Data!
Why Should You Backup and Transfer Your Data?
Having your data backed up and transferred gets your new system working just like your old one, gives you a backup of important files you don’t want to lose, and protects you from data loss.
Choose to backup your data to an external hard drive or cloud backup server and you’ll have fast access to all your files in the event your computer fails unexpectedly, giving you a solid restore point.
Ransomware holds your data hostage until you pay a ransom. Have your data backed up on a separate drive or cloud server so you can say NO to ransom demands.
Data Backup & Transfer
Take Your Data with You
The most common need for a data backup and transfer is when you get a new computer. Getting your data and important files off your old hard drive and transferred onto your new system is a key component to getting your new PC or laptop to be just as useful as your old one.
Perhaps you recently invested in a brand new computer—a sleek, pristine device with a high-resolution screen untouched by human hands. Yet, there’s a challenge: it’s devoid of your essential files, photos, contacts, records, and videos.
You need a seamless solution to transfer all your valuable data to your sparkling new device.
Look no further than Nerds On Call’s Data Backup & Transfer service—an efficient, reliable, and straightforward way to protect your data with a robust backup system. Our team can ensure your files are securely backed up and expertly transferred to your new device, ensuring you won’t lose a single memory in the process.
But getting a new PC isn’t the only time you should consider a data backup and transfer.
Your cherished memories, such as photos and videos, family tree records, and other personal data, are not merely files; they hold a treasure trove of irreplaceable moments. While your computer itself can be replaced if your hard drive crashes, safeguarding precious personal data requires a backup that you are able to maintain on a secondary device – either your old (still functioning) hard drive when you upgrade to a new one, an online backup, flash drive, or external hard drive.
Ensuring the safety of your files from unexpected mishaps is paramount.
We’re here to assist you and ensure your cherished memories remain safe and accessible. Don’t wait to secure your data; let us provide you with peace of mind and top-notch data protection today!
Do you have any questions or need further details? Feel free to call one of our friendly Nerds at 1-800-919-6373.

Nerds on Call Data Backup & Transfer FAQs
Nerds On Call’s data transfer is safe and secure because we use reliable data backup tools to create an image of your drive whenever possible, ensuring that we don’t miss anything just because you forgot to mention it was important.
You certainly CAN provide your own new PC, flash drive, or hard drive for your files to be transferred to but you don’t have to. When you make your appointment, just let your Nerd know if you’ll supply something to have files transferred to, or if you want to purchase a flash drive or hard drive from us.
Our techs pull data from damaged computers all the time. From water spills to drops to overheating, we will attempt to save your data from that damaged laptop or desktop but success depends on the extent of the damage. And we have a great data recovery partner when the damage is excessive.
Due to that risk, we recommend getting your data backup right away and on a regular basis. To find out if your data is retrievable, contact us at 1-800-919-6373.
Chris Stewart –
Have used these guys twice and had a very good experience! Especially thrilled the second time as they recovered ALL of my data that I thought was lost!!!
Kip C. –
My Lenovo all in one suffered from being too jammed full of stuff, unbeknownst to me. Nerds cleared out my system and saved my data. I was at least smart enough to have a data backup so it was not long at home before it was “like it never even happened.”
Logan F. –
Jonathan at Nerds On Call went completely above and beyond what was necessary to recover data on our laptop. All work was completed in a super timely manner and communication was fantastic throughout. I can’t thank Jonathan and their crew enough for all of the information and time that was saved with the work they performed. I will absolutely be returning should I have computer problems in the future.
Lois Harris –
Chris was so helpful getting my phone photos transferred ! Everyone at NERDS are awesome! Worth every penny, couldn’t imagine not having them! Thank you all
Kim Lamb –
Jonathan was one of the best IT people I have ever worked with!! Able to transfer data from my crashed PC to a new one. Based on past experience with other IT companies, I assumed I had lost a lot of important stuff so I am ecstatic that everything is back. You guys rock and will definitely be my go to computing resource!
Stacy Bell-Singh –
I’m always skeptical of computer repair people in fear of having sensitive data stolen. However Nerds On Call has come to my home office and fixed issues remotely with no problem with virtually no wait time other than the troubleshooting/repairs themselves. They have a great team and everyone that I’ve worked with has been very personable and knowledgeable. Highly recommended.

Five stars don’t seem like enough considering how many times Nerds on Call has bailed me out. I’ve had them on service for a couple of years now and they have never let me down. They are a great team and if one nerd does not know the answer, they will track down a nerd who does. They never make you feel stupid even when you ask dumb questions (which I’m sure I do). They are honest, I feel like their prices are fair and they will do anything within their power to make sure your issues get resolved. I work from home and heavily rely on my computer so knowing that I have someone to bail me out when I have a question or something goes wrong gives me a great peace of mind. When it came time to replace my old laptop, Kirk gave great advice and Shane came out to the house and did a great job of setting it up and transferring all my data. Today was my first day of work with the new machine and when I hit a snag, Patrick knew just what to do to get me up and running. I also want to say thank you to Devan who assisted me earlier and when the solution could not be found got Patrick involved rather than just telling me there was nothing they could do. That’s great teamwork. Thank you Nerd team for all you do!
Jimmy Spearow –
Nerds on call resolved a persistent computer connection problem that I was having on an old Mac computer. Thank you. Now several months later I had a problem getting a new external hard drive to back up with TimeMachine and could not find a solution. Nerds on call figured it out and resolved the problem. Thank you Mucho!
Carol Boggs –
Nerds on Call successfully transferred my Family Tree data from flashdrive to my computer. Very important data that I didn’t want to lose! Also cleaned my hard drive up. Good job!
Caleb Harris –
I recently had coffee spilled all over my computer. After taking it several places I was told pretty much no luck and it was completely dead. I was about to give up then went to Nerds on Call because I happened to be in the area. The manager Johnathan claimed there maybe something he could do to fix it. After about a week in a half he was able to fix my computer while still saving all of my work on the drive. He and the team really went above and beyond to help fix my computer while giving me status updates along the way and for a reasonable price. I am greatly appreciative.

It’s comforting to know I have professional backup when my computer goes whacky. Nerds always delivers. Reps are always patient with my queries.
