How Backup Software Protected My Music

As a young adult from New York my first love was music. I fell in love with music from a young age and knew it would always be a part of me. I’ve been making music since I was barely a teen, and over the years I gained somewhat of a fan base. Since people have finally begun to show interest in my music, I decided it was time a release a bigger project.

For the past 4 months I’ve been working on a mixtape with 11 songs and yesterday I finally finished recording the final one. I had my producer put everything onto my laptop so I wouldn’t have to worry about it being leaked or anyone listening early. It was a great feeling listening to the completed tape and I couldn’t wait to release it. The next morning while playing it for my friends, my nephew who is barley 2 years spilled his juice all over my computer! It got all into the keyboard and my computer actually started to smoke, so we quickly grabbed a fire extinguisher in fear it would start a fire.

Needless to say my computer no longer worked and everything that was on it is now gone. My four months of hard work is now gone without me ever getting an opportunity to release my music. Even though I asked for the copy of the tape to be moved onto my computer, I texted my producer in hopes he still had a copy. He told me that he only had the copy that was put onto my computer. Just when things started to look really bleak, he told me he did however backup his computer before he transferred the file and that he might be able to recover it.

I had no idea what he meant, but then he told me he has a file recovery service called DDI Utilities that he can use to get back any lost or corrupted files/data. He also suggested I get the same software for my files so that everything that I consider crucial can be protected and safe. It made sense to me that he has all his files backed up, especially since he works with different clients, and losing a file can cause him to lose that client forever.

Knowing that my entire tape can be recovered with an erased files recovery and that I can prevent this from ever happening again was a huge relief for me. After looking into the software for myself I was pleasantly surprised to see that it was also available for mobile devices, both iPhones and Androids. All of my photos, videos, contacts, and much more can safely be backed up and quickly recovered if I ever needed.

I’ll never again put myself in a situation where I can lose things important to me on my computer or mobile device, so I’ll always rely on DDI Utilities. Being able to have an erased file recovery software in case of an emergency gives me a huge peace of mind.

POKEMONING AND DRIVING: Find out if your teen is using his or her phone when they shouldn’t be

You’ve had the conversation time and time again with your teenager: don’t use your phone while driving. Each time they promised that they wouldn’t and that they haven’t, but you’re still not sure you believe them—after all, even you’ve glanced down at your own iPhone from time to time to check a call or text … and not always when stopped at a red light.

Up until recently, you gave them the benefit of the doubt, because you love your kid and try to trust them. So what changed? Well, it’s the thing that’s been sweeping the nation that’s changed. The new summer phenomenon. The craze that’s got everyone up and out of the house and roaming the streets and neighborhoods. It’s Pokémon Go. No one wants to lose their progress which is why it’s good to have a data file recovery.

Pokémon Go is the hot new app based on the classic game of the 1990s. Make sure your Pokémon are protected with a recovery file. It’s is a free-to-download app with in-app purchases that has people, both young and old, searching behind bushes, cars, mailboxes and fences. It’s a whole lot of fun, but that doesn’t mean it comes without trouble.

 This game is played using a cell phone, which is why it makes sense to have a usb file recovery available. The game has been the cause of numerous crimes, mishaps and gruesome discoveries. There have been multiple cases of armed robbery because criminals wait at secluded Pokémon critter sites so that they can steal game player’s smartphones and money. A couple of people have stumbled upon dead bodies in their search for Pokémon and pals. And a whole bunch of players have walked into walls, poles, people and moving traffic. Two men even fell off a cliff! But what’s even more dangerous is those who are looking for the Pokémon monsters while driving—and that’s what concerns me.

I brought up the events with my daughter, who is hooked on the game by the way, and she promised she wouldn’t do it, but I already caught her doing it and here’s how. Several months ago, I installed a mobile spy app on her phone to make sure that she wasn’t doing anything unseemly (smoking, taking drugs, drinking, sending sexual pictures of herself to her boyfriend). I didn’t check often but would “peek in” every now and then just to see what’s going on. Well, the app totally paid off when I used it yesterday.

My daughter left the driveway and I knew she was on the Poke prowl. I yelled to her, “Don’t use your phone when driving!” and she quickly dropped it down and said, “I won’t,” and sped away. Well, one minute later I caught her using the app and confronted her later.

The app gives me complete access to her phone so that I can see everything she is doing on it in real time. It’s completely undetectable and didn’t cost much at all. Oh, it’s called Auto Forward by the way, and it’s great for checking your kid’s emails, texts, social media accounts and more. It also lets me track my daughter with a GPS locator.


It’s a great tool for parenting and it really helps me stay sane when I’m worried about her safety. It may seem like spying—and it is to a degree—but this is my daughter and I want to protect her. Her life is more important to me than any game.

Why A Backup Recovery Software Was A Crucial Save At Six Flags

This past summer I went to Six Flags with some of my friends, and it was a complete blast. It was so hot that hardly anybody was in the park which meant there was barely any lines. Everything was going great until we got to this one ride, and then our day of fun quickly turned negative. This ride went super-fast and had a bunch of twists and loops. It was an awesome thrill ride, but I forgot to button my pocket so that my phone wouldn’t fall out. I felt it slowly lifting up in my pocket but because of the restraints on the ride I couldn’t reach my pocket to close it. The worst part is another loop was coming up and I knew my phone would fall out if I didn’t close it. I felt like I was in an action movie and only had a few seconds to disarm the bomb. Well, if it had been a movie with a ticking time bomb I would’ve been dead.

I couldn’t reach my pocket and just like I predicted, my phone fell out of my pocket as we hit the loop. It’s like everything happened in slow motion, as I watched my phone fall to the ground from the roller coaster. If you have an iPhone with no case, then you know my phone was completely destroyed.

After I exited the ride, I was able to go to the spot where my phone had fallen, and of course it was broken. I don’t just mean a cracked screen - I mean a phone that was way beyond repair. I brought it to Apple and they couldn’t even fix it.  I was really upset that I now had to purchase a new phone but I was happy that I backed up all of the data on my phone using the best data recovery  DDI Utilities, an iPhone and Android backup extractor software. In the end, I had to pay for a new phone, but all of my family pictures, contacts, music and every bit of crucial data was backed up and could be restored onto my new device.

Backing up your phone can be very useful and come in handy if anything was to happen to the actual phone itself. If you conduct business using your cell phone it’s probably a good idea to have your phone backed up at all times so you never have to worry about losing a client’s information. No one wants to keep sending that “I bought a new phone. Who’s this?” text every time someone new messages them. recovering deleted files has never been so easy.

It only takes a few minutes to back up the data and to recover it is even faster. If you prefer, you can also choose specific files to restore as opposed to everything that was on the old phone.

It’s also available for people with Android devices. I first decided to try it out after my phone was stolen a couple years ago. It offers a 30-day money back guarantee, so I was confident in my purchase.. Well, that was years ago and I’m still using DDI Utilities, so that should tell you something – I have complete confidence in this product. They can even preform online data recovery.

DDI Utilities Saved My Marriage




You wouldn’t think that a backup recovery software would be powerful enough to save a marriage, but it did. I can without exaggeration that it saved mine.

My wife and I have always had issues with her flakiness. She’s a great wife and mother, but she’s completely unorganized, and it frustrates me on a daily basis. The kid’s school forms get lost. Doctor’s appointments get missed. Social engagements are forgotten about.

I started being the to organize everything, but my job kept me away from the house sometimes for weeks at a time. I urgently told my wife she had to step up her game or the kids might miss everything in their lives that’s important! They’re too young to stay organized themselves, and it’s a parent’s duty to stay on top of the calendar, the health forms, and the massive amount of papers that come with it. After many arguments, she said she would. As I said, she’s a great mother, and didn’t want her little ones to miss out on school events.

So I bought my wife an iPhone, and painstakingly taught her how to use iCalendar and iMessages. She’s no dummy – she’s actually quite tech savvy, so I knew she’s be fine. However, you can have the greatest iPhone in the world, and it will stay organized for you, but you have to take the first step and enter those appointments yourself!

Once she realized this, we set up a time once a week to go over what needed to be accomplished for the week. Even if I was in China, we still Facetimed and discussed the household needs. Then I walked her through how to add it to her iPhone.

In no time, all of our appointments were neatly organized and added to iCalendar! Even minor things, like when the recyclables go out, were now on her cell phone. Scattered and unorganized? Not anymore.

Then I got the urgent message one night that she lost her phone, and she had to talk me off the ledge because I was ready to freak out. It was one of those incidents where she was out shopping and she lost her phone in a dressing room. When she returned to the store, it was gone.

But guess what? My wife surprised me by telling me, no worries, she had bought a backup recovery software called DDI Utilities and it saved EVERYTHING. I had never heard of this! It’s a data recovery service that you can download and install on your phone. Once it’s installed, it recovers everything that’s lost – videos, contacts, text messages, iMessage, photo recovery, contacts, and yes, the all-important iCalendar.

It saved everything! Now her organized life wasn’t gone in it instant – it was easy to recover all her data, included deleted file recovery.

You might think I’m exaggerating when I say it improved our relationship, but it’s true. When you’re married as long as we have been, little things like this can damage a relationship. But DDI Utilities, and wife’s forethought in purchasing it, was a marriage saver.

Why You Should Back Up Your Phone

You know how people always say to back up your phone before something happens and how we never do it because we feel like it could never happen to us. Well, that was me and unfortunately it happened to me. One Saturday morning I decided to take my six-year-old son and toddler daughter to the park for some fresh air and so my son could run around and play. My daughter was in the stroller as I sat on the bench and we both watched my son play.
 While going to get some snacks for my kids from my bag I rested my phone in the stroller along with my daughter. Well, I guess I shouldn’t have done that because my daughter picked my phone up and flung it. I couldn’t believe she could even throw that far! It had been raining late last night but now it was sunny outside and any puddles had dried up. At least that’s what I thought, out of all the grass and dried ground my phone landed in the only puddle in sight. I almost felt like my daughter had done it on purpose, I rushed over to pick it up but water had already sunk into the phone when I noticed.

All the family photos from our summer trips to the beach, Europe, and everything had been taken on that phone! The thought of losing those memories was unbearable but then I remembered I had a file recovery software and backed up my phone using the DDI utilities software. All of my photos, contacts, videos, text messages and more were all backed up thanks to DDI. Even my games that were on my phone were restored, I didn’t even have to start all over from the beginning. This software can easily recover everything that was backed up or you can choose specific data categories that you want to recover. You can choose a backup from either a local drive or from iCloud whichever you prefer.

Once I purchased a new phone I was then able to recover data that was on my last phone. It was great because it almost seemed as if I never lost my phone in the first place due to the fact DDI was able to make everything the same as it was before. I used this for my iPhone but my husband also uses this software for his Android. Since we both conduct business using our phones its crucial we always have a backup plan and DDI Utilities is the perfect backup plan.


To anyone who works off of their phone or has crucial data that they don’t want to take a chance and lose you should make sure you back up your data. DDI is the top choice because it backs up every bit of data on the cell phone. Not only is all the data backed up but you can easily and quickly restore deleted files onto the other phone within minutes.

DDI Utilities Can Help When You Lose Your Lifeline (Meaning, Your Cell Phone)

I was devastated last summer when I lost my cell phone. I was at a friend's cookout and I put the phone near the grill, and one of my little cousins picked up the phone and threw it right into the pool! I couldn't get mad at her; she's only 2. And yes, it was my fault for leaving it lying around anyway. But all of a sudden, my lifeline was gone.



It may seem dramatic to call it a lifeline, but that's exactly what a cell phone is to me. I keep everything on it: from photos of my kids, to voice messages from my dad who recently passed away, to hundreds of work documents, to all the great family videos I've accumulated over the years. All the personal and business contacts - gone! Do you know how long it takes to reload this kind of stuff on a new device? That's why cell phone carriers such as Verizon and AT&T roll over all your crucial information.

Without any kind of cloud storage or backup plan, I was out of luck. You can't exist in this day and age without a backup recovery software for your cell phone. It just makes no sense. With all that we use our phones for, we should a solid system to recover deleted files, or for anything that's lost.

I learned a valuable lesson from last summer and immediately purchased DDI Utilities as soon as I bought a new phone.

DDI Utilities is a backup extractor software that works for both Android and iPhone, and when I say it's a lifesaver, I mean it! The installation was a snap, and I breathe a huge sigh of relief now, each time I download a large piece of data or take hundreds of pictures at a family event.

The DDI Utilities iPhone Extractor and Data Recovery Software can recover contacts, pictures, call histories, MMS, iMessages, photos, videos, voicemail, calendar entries, notes, app files, saved games, and data that might otherwise be lost or inaccessible.

I loved it so much that I passed the information to my family, and they couldn't believe it was this easy to have peace of mind! Even my Aunt Terri, who is extremely old school and NOT tech savvy, was able to follow the simple instructions, install it on her phone, and backup all her information. Aunt Terri is a huge pet lover and owns five cats, and keeps meticulous records of which cat did what on what day. She takes pictures and videos and records everything about them. Aunt Terri was the perfect candidate for a backup extractor like DDI Utilities. Then Aunt Terri told her favorite neighbor, and so on. And everyone always has the same reaction: "It's so simple to use! Why didn't I think of doing that before?!"

DDI Utilities data recovery app is the only backup and recovery software that you'll ever need for your Android or iPhone mobile device. Trust me, don't make the same mistake I did and leave your cell phone by a pool for little hands to play with. I may lose, drop or damage my phone, but I'll never be without the security of DDI Utilities data recovery services.

Why You Need DDI Utilities If You’re A New Dog Owner



My wife and I have recently been thinking about starting a family but we weren’t sure if we were ready to handle it just yet. We know we wanted to take that first step, but were both just so young and this is a big decision so you can’t blame us for being kind of nervous when it comes to the idea. Instead, my wife suggested it might be better to get a dog and see how we manage taking care of the dog before we go and have a kid. Apparently Rachel Ray suggested it to a couple that was on the show earlier this week. I wasn’t sure if a dog would be good enough practice for a baby but I agreed anyway because who doesn’t love dogs, right? The next morning, we went to get a dog at a local animal shelter. 
 
We definitely scored the cutest puppy there (of course in my opinion). We picked up a golden retriever and decided to name him Chop. That’s when we realized we didn’t go shopping for a dog and had no supplies. We headed to the local pet store and got everything we needed for Chop. As soon as we got home he was running all over the house exploring and sniffing everything he could. After a long day of excitement, I guess he must’ve been tired because when we got ready to go to bed he was already on the floor, stretched out and passed out. He woke up, followed us into the bedroom and just sat there staring at us. We bought him a doggie bed of his own, but he kept crying at the end of our bed so we decided to let him sleep with us tonight.

Boy was that a mistake! We completely forgot about the teething that puppies do when their adult teeth start coming in. I made the mistake of leaving my phone in the bed with us while we slept and when I woke up in the middle of the night and went to look for my phone, it wasn’t there and neither was Chop. I was so tired I didn’t think anything of it and just got up to use the bathroom.

That’s when I saw Chop, sitting right in the hallway chewing on something. Out of all the things to teeth on of course it had to be my cell phone. Just my luck! I ran towards him and he ran from me leaving the phone behind. It was covered in slobber and had bites mark all over, and my screen was completely blacked out. I was furious about my phone but at least Chop didn’t cut his mouth on the glass or swallow any of the wires inside. I couldn't get my phone to come back at all. It was gone. Everything was gone! 

That’s when I remembered that I had recently backed my cell phone up using DDI Utilities data backup and recovery app. My cell phone is a big part of my job and I needed all the data on my phone. I need it constantly to communicate with my clients and be able to look up all of my emails quickly. If it were not for the DDI data backup app and its powerful features like data extraction and recovery capabilities, I don’t know what I would do. I purchased a new phone the next day and was able to easily put everything I lost onto my new phone. The backup and recovery app made it so easy for me to get all of my data back and get my phone back to exactly the way I needed it to be. 

Now Chop sleeps in his doggy bed out of reach of my phone and all other electronics for that matter.
