LiveDrive saves photographers business

We were thrilled to receive a phone call from one of our members in mid August who had suffered from a hard drive failure on her main computer.

Not only was her main machine toast but the backup drive she had been attaching to it had been faithfully backing up corrupted files from the main machine and so was also completely useless!

LiveDrive to the rescue however, as because the lady in question was an NPS member and had taken advantage of the free LiveDrive software she had all of her weddings safely backed up in the cloud and recovered the lot.
