NAS Storage Design, Deployment and Backup Setup

A NAS is often the most important box in a small office: it holds the shared files, the backups of every computer and sometimes the camera recordings. Set up badly, with one disk, no second copy and an open admin account, it is also the easiest way to lose everything to a failed drive or ransomware.

This service sizes the NAS from the data you have and how fast it grows, chooses the disks and RAID level, and builds volumes, shared folders and user permissions, including Active Directory where there is one. Backups are then configured for PCs, servers, Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace mailboxes and files, with snapshots that ransomware cannot alter and a copy sent off site to cloud storage or a second NAS.

Remote access for staff, surveillance recording and virtual machine storage can be added on the same unit, and existing files are migrated from the old server or shared drive.

It suits offices, clinics, design studios and villas that keep important files on site and want them backed up properly.
