Can I cancel a Seagate Rescue Plan at anytime?
Yes. If you cancel within 30 days of purchase, you will receive a full refund of the purchase price, less any claims processed.

Don’t be a statistic.

Of people who lost a smartphone or computer, 57% were more upset about losing the data than losing the gadget. An iPhone is expensive but memories are priceless.

For businesses, data loss is even more costly. A data or security breach will cost around US$5 million per incident. Having a contingency plan could not only save you money, it could save your business.

25% of all PC users suffer data loss annually. Human error accounts for 29% of all data loss. 96% of all business workstations are not regularly backed up. Over the last 30 years, storage capacity has increased exponentially.
