Our
service provides to our customers ... |
| |
We as individuals
know that we cannot protect ourselves from
the occurrence of major life events.
We also know that we can take preventive
measures to minimize the pain or trauma as
we move through these transitions. After a major traumatic event,
could you recall from memory and create an
itemized list for your insurance agent?
Are you prepared to take time away from
your business to create the list, or track down
pictures and receipts? As you walked
through your business with the insurance
adjuster, would your emotions allow you to
remember all the items that you possess?
Do your current insurance policies truly
cover all your assets with the necessary
riders? Could you accurately provide the
necessary details to the police for lost
or stolen items? Our service provides a
method to itemize and document
possessions,
provides a remote location for data
storage and retrieval, and provides a means
for our client's insurance agents to
insure that all of the client's property is
properly covered.
We at Backus Alternatives offer the
following services:
- Digital video burned to DVD of the
exterior and interior of your estate
or business.
- Digital still photographs also
burned to CD
- An itemized list with make, model,
serial numbers, into a spreadsheet
that is also burned to CD
Please see our package
page for the many other services that
we offer as well. |

Read-only
vs. Rewritable |
| |
We at
Backus Alternatives choose to deliver your
data on non-rewritable media for several
reasons.
- With read-only media your chances of
deleting records or overwriting
records is eliminated.
- Placing your photos and inventory on
to a DVD or CD for you makes storage
to a remote location both easier and
safer.
- Because the quality of pictures is
better on DVD or CD it is much easier
for insurance companies or police to
view the information.
- DVD and CD are optical media with a
projected shelf life of 80 years under
proper storage. Magnetic media
such as floppy disc or video tape
start to degrade after 8 years,
sometimes sooner. In addition,
if this media is exposed to magnetic
fields then the chances of data
corruption are even greater.

What
else do we do? |
| |
In addition to our DVD and CD options we
also offer one update per year at your
request. All update requests must be
submitted in written form either by mail,
fax, or e-mail. We cannot except
phone requests for this service.
Once your inventory is updated we will
send you updated discs.
|
| |
What
we are not |
| |
We are not certified appraisers.
Our service is a documentation service
only. We
document those items which are presented to
us at the time of filming. We will
not represent you legally as to the value
of your property. Customers choosing
not to utilize our off-site storage
options release Backus Alternatives, LLC from
any liability due to improper handling or
storage of the media which they receive.
