Any one have issues with Dell Data Safe? I back up my files, but when I go to
www.delldatasafe.com, my files do not show up when I want to see what files are available to restore.
Does any one have a number for tech support for Dell Data Safe?
I have not been able to get the Dell online data safe to work at all. I have tried twice: once by e-mail and once on the phone. I have ended up frustrated with the problem.
This is my third dell, love the computer, but am totally frustrated with the current support system. This is the third problem with my computer and the customer support at this time is dreadful. I have a difficult time with my name and e-mail address let alone any useful help. I have received the wrong info three times, and yesterday after 2 hours was sent to the wrong tech. This will be my last Dell.
I have just purchased a new system and with it I bought Data Safe. It looked like a great idea that would save me some time setting up my new pc. Right now I'm so frustrated I could scream. I got my e-mail from data safe, followed the link and now have the icon on my computer. To bad the icon doesn't work. I tried dell chat, the lady took over my computer by remote and she couldn't get it to work. She said for some reason the whole file did not download. She said Dell has to reset the web page and I need to start over. Meanwhile I had a message on my phone from Dell saying I hadn't activated Data Safe yet, here is the number with extension, please call back. Ok, finally a contact that gets me to the right people who know what they are doing! All the other phone calls from me to Dell only let to frustration since my current PC warranty is expired and they want me to pay to get help!!! Yeah, right, I just bought a new PC!! Anyway, I called the number, went straight to answering machine, left detailed message, case number and phone number. Next day did that again, still no call back!!!!! I am so mad I could breath fire!!! When I purchased my first Dell 13 years ago customer service is great!! Now I just want to kick something. I also get really frustrated having to try to communicate with people who do not understand what I'm saying, and their accents are so strong I do not understand what they are saying!!! Has anybody had any luck yet fixing this yet? My computer shipment just got delayed by a week. I sure they are not waiting for me to activate data Safe!!!!! Argh!!!
I had almost an identical experience. I was finally routed to a dell safe technician who told me I should not have been sent there---this was after waiting 15 minutes to speak to her. At this point I became completely frustrated and sent an e-mail asking that I be reimbursed for what I had spent on that part of my system. They replied promptly with a credit to my card. In addition, I have dial up and knew this was going to be frustrating.
