Frontier Communications Peace of Mind PC Support Keeps your Files Safe at All Times

Preparedness is top of mind for all of us across the Pacific Northwest. Most notably the recent series of disasters: earthquake, tsunami, flooding, snow, and nuclear crises are reminders of the reality that could happen in our backyard. According to a survey by Acronis,  29% of consumers do not back up the files, photos and music on their machines at all.  In fact, only 15 percent of consumers back up on a regular basis.

“An important step of being prepared involves making the necessary arrangements to be able to fully restore your electronic data after a disaster. In today’s digital world many people have large amounts of their personal information stored electronically on their computer,” said Denise Baumbach, President of Frontier’s West Region. “Through Frontier’s Peace of Mind unlimited hard drive back up service we are able to help our customers easily restore their most precious photos, videos, and data.”

Imagine what it would be like after a disaster having to rebuild your life from a necessities standpoint of shelter, food and clothing. Now imagine adding the complexity of having to rebuild your most important data files and documents. Frontier’s Peace of Mind service ensures unlimited backup of your electronic data files, which are stored at remote backup centers throughout the United States. Important files are not only protected but also easily retrievable and accessible.

“Having an external hard drive backup is not enough after a disaster. Being digitally prepared means backing up your data to a secure online site,” said Baumbach. “Frontier’s Peace of Mind PC support is the leading service available for online data backup and more. We are committed to helping customers in our communities be prepared to recover vital information and communications, regardless of Mother Nature’s impact or a virus attack. Frontier is offering Peace of Mind at a reduced rate through April 30, 2011 for $12.99 per month. When you sign up through the Great Frontier Donate, we will donate $10 to your local Chapter of the American Red Cross, our partner in preparedness.”

Frontier Communications and the American Red Cross are partnering to promote public and personal safety and crisis preparation in Oregon and Washington. Through the end of the year, the communities Frontier serves in these states will see enhanced support through events and activities on preparedness education in addition to CPR/AED (Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation/Automated External Defibrillator) safety training, blood services, and Service to Armed Forces.

In addition to Frontier’s electronic preparedness and ensuring your data is protected, the Red Cross encourages you to be Red Cross Ready by taking three simple steps to ensure you and your family is prepared: get a kit, make a plan, and be informed.

Frontier Communications is also supporting the Red Cross through the Great Frontier Donate program.
