Storage and backup review
Know what is backed up and how to restore it.
The first visit assesses the data, users, devices, risks, and required approvals before changing shares, drives, permissions, or access.
Synology and NAS setup review
Review the NAS model and health, network connection, updates and shared folders. Document who uses it and what depends on it.

Common NAS setup requests
- A Synology, NAS, external drive, or shared storage box exists, but nobody knows whether it is backing up the right files.
- A small office needs shared folders, scanner folders, permissions, network drive mapping, or workstation backups cleaned up.
- The owner wants remote file access or VPN-style access without opening a NAS directly to the public internet.
- The business needs a tested restore procedure and someone responsible for checking backup failures.
What we check
Separate storage, backup, sync, and recovery.
- Confirm business type, device count, NAS brand/model, network gear, storage role, data types, users, and who can approve changes.
- Map what is storage, what is backup, what is sync, what is cloud/offsite, and what has actually been restore-tested.
- Separate quick setup from projects that require an estimate, such as migrations, large data transfers, storage configuration changes, remote access, or recurring monitoring.
- Leave clear notes covering what appears protected, what remains unverified, what needs testing, and what additional work should be estimated.
Backup, remote access, and data boundaries
Backup changes can affect every shared file, workstation, and recovery option.
Changing a share, drive, permission or sync rule can affect everyone who uses the NAS. We agree the scope and backup precautions before making those changes.
Do not send private files, client records, financial records, health/legal documents, passwords, encryption keys, MFA codes, or recovery keys through forms/text.
Drive formatting, deletes, permission changes, share moves, remote access, cloud sync, encryption, snapshots, and restore tests require clear approval first.
Tech Genie does not guarantee data recovery or forensic recovery. Failed drives, deleted critical files, or severe data-loss cases may need a specialist lab.
Compliance, retention, legal hold, HIPAA/regulated data, cybersecurity policy, and long-term backup policy remain owner/vendor/compliance decisions.
Storage is not backup
Check for a second copy and usable version history, then test restoring selected files.
Access should be intentional
Remote and administrator access need explicit approval and a documented setup.
Notes reduce repeat risk
A written map of shares, users, devices, backup jobs, and restore tests makes future support safer.
NAS backup setup FAQ
NAS and backup questions
Do you set up Synology or NAS backups in Los Angeles?
Yes. Tech Genie helps Los Angeles small businesses and home offices review Synology or NAS setup, shared folders, workstation backups, local/offsite backup planning, restore checks, and support notes when schedule, access, scope, and risk fit.
Is a NAS the same as a backup?
No. A NAS is storage. It becomes part of a backup plan only when the right files are copied or versioned, protected from accidental deletion where practical, and restore-tested.
Can you make my NAS accessible remotely?
Sometimes. We quote and get approval for remote access separately because it can expose files or administration. Depending on the system, options may include a VPN, Tailscale or a supported vendor service. Keeping remote access disabled may be the better choice.
Can Tech Genie recover lost files from a failed drive?
No recovery is guaranteed. Tech Genie can review backup status and safe next steps, but physically failed drives, deleted critical files, ransomware, or legal/forensic recovery may need a specialist data-recovery lab.
