Usually I'm not a big fan of imaging, since the img may be 1 year old, and software is outdated. And when we're talking about some old CNC, and the only option is to replace the hole thing or just clean the system, people get what they pay for. Even thought I don't control the prices of Microsoft Office. Upselling is usually hard, because I'm not a professional, and therefore people expect it to be cheap. I actually encountered quite a bit of legitimate software connected to some old CNC or something, where the only installation media left in the world is a scratched old CD that the client can't find.Ĭompared to some of the weird xp-only-compatible company-went-down-and-burned-all-copies software I've met, a torrented Photoshop is pretty durable. If you, remove drive, mount outside the environment, recover data, replace drive, install, install programs, return data, install a backup utility (home backup cloud services are easy and cheap), then image the entire machine to a rebuild partition you are doing a better service for your client.Ģ.) You've made it so you can restore their machine remotely without a return visitģ.) You've pretty much made the computer idiot proof for destructionĤ.) You can charge what you want for a restore and your subsequent repairs will take <15 minutes of active time. Plus its just a time wasting enterprise and not worth it to your client. But after a while you realize your are just putting the client more at risk for losing their data with multiple reboots, scans, cleanups. I used to love cleaning machines, don't get me wrong. Your best bet would be to mount the drive outside the computer. Sure, for personal computers where they have no backup and are freaking out about their pictures.
