The company, which had a rich advertising history dating back to 1926 as Patterson &amp; Hall (later Patterson &amp; Sullivan), relied heavily on Mac systems for its advertising and design work. Initially, Bruce noticed his computer&#8217;s performance declining, leading him to believe it was overloaded. He decided to transfer critical files to an external drive for backup. However, the problems persisted, and the backup drive eventually failed to mount, resulting in a catastrophic data loss.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The data loss included in-progress client files, past project work, and 20 years&#8217; worth of research and images documenting the history of the firm, including interviews with artists, audio files, video files, and original art files. This loss was not only devastating to ongoing business but also meant losing valuable historical records.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bruce initially sought help from MacAdvantage, a local Sonoma County computer repair company he had worked with previously. MacAdvantage, a DriveSavers partner, referred him to DriveSavers, recognizing that expert data recovery skills were required to address the extent of the data loss.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<div class=\"vc_empty_space\"   style=\"height: 32px\"><span class=\"vc_empty_space_inner\"><\/span><\/div><style>.vcex_69d2b36a30d69{font-size:25px!important;}@media (max-width:767px){.vcex_69d2b36a30d69{font-size:15px!important;}}@media (max-width:479px){.vcex_69d2b36a30d69{font-size:15px!important;}}<\/style>\n\t<div style=\"color:#333333;\" class=\"wpb_text_column vcex_69d2b36a30d69 has-custom-color wpex-child-inherit-color wpb_content_element\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<blockquote><p>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I had audio files, I had video files\u2026 including Amado Gonzalez here, Charlie Allen, Stan Galley, who&#8217;s in the Illustration Hall of Fame, Chet Patterson, my original mentor, who had all this vast knowledge of the history of the firm.
