Computer Backup Setup in Los Angeles
Protect the folders you rely on with a backup you understand. Tech Genie helps choose the storage, configure the schedule, and test a restore on your Windows PC or Mac.
Mobile visits and scheduled pickup · Clear scope and quote before work
Your storage
Drives and cloud accounts stay customer-owned.
Your approval
Review scope, costs and access before work begins.
Your handoff
Inventory, updates and agreed return arrangements.
Choose storage based on your actual files
We review how much data needs protection, how quickly it changes, and how you would recover after a lost or broken computer. An external drive, a cloud backup or both may be appropriate. Storage purchases and subscription charges are shown separately from setup labor.
You own the drive and the account
The backup destination and recovery credentials stay under your control. You enter passwords yourself. Tech Genie does not store your personal backup on its website or business database, and a completed setup does not require keeping your computer at our location.
We test the recovery step
After configuration, we check the initial backup and restore selected sample files to a separate location. If a large upload is still running, the report says what remains pending and how completion will be checked. A successful setup screen alone is not treated as a verified backup.
Understand what happens after the visit
Your handoff explains included folders, exclusions, backup frequency, available version history, storage limits, recovery steps and who checks failures. One-time setup and ongoing monitoring are separate choices. Cloud sync may propagate accidental deletions; we check the recovery options you actually have.
Before you book
Do I need to buy a drive?
Possibly. We can assess a suitable drive you already own, or quote new storage. A cloud option has its own subscription and internet requirements. None of those costs are silently included in labor.
Can you set up Time Machine or a Windows backup?
Yes, subject to device compatibility, storage health, available capacity and the files you want protected. We review the destination and restore procedure with you.
Will you monitor it every day?
Only under a separately agreed ongoing service. The one-time visit includes setup, the agreed verification and handoff instructions; it does not promise continuous monitoring.
