Move important data carefully and confirm that the destination can open it. The listed £80.00 is the current starting or booked-service price. We confirm any additional parts, time or specialist work and obtain approval before charging more.

Listing: Backup Setup (Time Machine & iCloud) Service

Send or bring the exact model number and a clear description of the fault. We confirm compatibility before accepting a model-specific repair.

Common symptoms

• You are moving to a replacement computer
• A backup needs creating or restoring
• Files need copying from an old or unstable device
• You need an assessment before data-recovery work

Similar symptoms can have more than one cause. We test first and obtain approval before any different or additional paid repair.

What is included

• Source, destination and data-priority check
• Capacity, encryption and compatibility review
• Transfer or backup work within the agreed scope
• Representative file verification and a clear completion summary

Complete service: this listing is for diagnosis and professional work by Minko’s Macs. It is not a stand-alone parts listing.

How the service works

1. Confirm what must be moved and where it should go
2. Check source and destination health, capacity and credentials
3. Create a controlled copy using the least-disruptive method
4. Verify folders and representative files on the destination
5. Explain any omissions, compatibility issues or follow-up backup plan

Turnaround: Straightforward service work is normally completed within 24–48 working hours after check-in or the booked appointment. Data-recovery, parts, access or additional faults can extend this; we will explain the next step.

Service assurance

We stand behind the specific work completed and will review a recurrence connected with that work. New hardware faults, third-party changes, later software updates, malware reinfection, forgotten credentials and unrelated problems are not treated as the same fault. Any replacement part fitted as part of an agreed repair carries a one-year warranty with the liquid-damage exclusions stated above. Statutory rights remain unaffected.

Frequently asked questions

Is every application transferred?
Not always. Some applications need reinstalling, licensing or a compatible operating system.

Is cloud or external storage included?
Only when explicitly stated. Subscription and storage-device costs require approval.

Can damaged drives be transferred normally?
A failing or damaged drive may require a separate recovery process to avoid worsening it.
