Free Backup Check
Drop in your laptop (or desktop, iMac, MacBook, AIO or PC) and your backup device (probably an external hard drive) to our workshop at 160b Selwyn Street, Christchurch, for a FREE check. We'll inspect your computer backup and check if it's working correctly. This usually takes about 15 minutes, so drop it off and grab yourself a cup of coffee. After the inspection is complete, we'll let you know what we found. If your backup isn't working well, we'll give you expert advice on what we think the best solution would be. At that point, we'll leave it up to you to decide what you want to do. No obligation. Genuinely.

Poll: What could the Christchurch City Council fund if it didn't have to pay GST on rates?
Christchurch mayor Phil Mauger says GST on rates, currently taken by central government, would be better spent locally.
The comments follow an Infometrics analysis that found over $1.1 billion of rates revenue nationwide was collected by the Government in 2022 as GST.
According to Infometrics, $88.5m of that came from Christchurch city ratepayers. It would be enough to save the Christ Church Cathedral from ruin; restore the Dux de Lux seven times over; cover both the Art Centre and Orana Wildlife Park’s request for regular public funding for over 26 years; contribute to light rail in Greater Christchurch; or get the South Library rebuild completed.
