Files scattered over many drives
We consolidate and organise.
Microsys provides computer repairs in South Perth for home users and small businesses. If you are dealing with slow computers or missing access to stored files, tell us what happened and we can assess the cause and explain your options.
Before changing the storage setup, tell us where the affected files normally live. We can distinguish a computer problem from a shared-drive or network issue.
See our laptop repair services or describe the fault and request help.
A network storage box, usually called a NAS, gives a household one central place for photos, music, films and documents. Every device can reach it and it can back itself up.
The catch is that a NAS must be set up well. Drives need protecting against failure, access needs limiting and the network needs enough speed so that films do not stutter.
We plan the storage, set up the box, move your files across and connect the TV and phones. For backup specifics see data backup and transfer.

What we set up.
Central storage with a backup plan. See data backup and transfer.
Stable signal at the TV. See Wi-Fi setup.
Fix the machines that use it. See computer repairs.
Cameras and speakers on the same network. See smart home installation.

A NAS protects against one drive failing, but not against theft, fire or accidental deletion.
Keep a second copy elsewhere, such as an external drive or cloud backup.
We set this up as part of every NAS job.
