Accidental Deletion
Staff delete a folder on the NAS. The recycle bin does not always catch it. The file is gone.
File-level backup with versioned history lets you restore the deleted item without affecting anything else.
NAS File Based Backup — Singapore & Asia
NAS Files.
Backed Up Off-Device.
File-level backup of your NAS — to local and to cloud.
A NAS is a single point of failure unless it is backed up off the device. We do that for you.

Why It Matters
A NAS Is Storage, Not Backup
RAID protects against drive failure inside the NAS. It does not protect against deletion, ransomware, theft, fire, or NAS-wide corruption. The NAS itself needs to be backed up.
Ransomware via Mapped Drives
If the NAS is mapped to an infected workstation, ransomware encrypts the share. RAID does not stop this.
Off-device backup is the recovery path. Cloud destinations are isolated from the NAS.
NAS Hardware Failure
RAID protects against one or two drive failures. It does not protect against controller failure, firmware corruption, or NAS-wide events.
When the NAS itself fails, off-device backup is the only path back to the data.
Office Fire / Flood / Theft
A NAS in the office is gone if the office is. Local backup alone is not enough.
Cloud backup ensures the data survives even if the entire site is lost.
Shared Edits Gone Wrong
On shared NAS folders, overwrites and accidental edits cascade across the team. The 'good copy' is what you need.
Versioned backup lets you return a folder to the state it was in yesterday, last week, or last month.
Unverified NAS Snapshots
Built-in NAS snapshots are useful but device-local — they fail with the device. And nobody monitors them.
We provide off-device backup separately and monitor it daily. Failures are acted on the same day.

Why Managed Backup Asia
NAS File Backup — Done For You
We configure the backup, monitor it, and recover from it when needed. The NAS is no longer a single point of failure.
01
Works With Common NAS
We back up Synology, QNAP, and most other NAS platforms used by SMBs. We confirm compatibility during the free consult.
02
Local + Cloud Layers
Local backup is fast for the everyday recoveries. Cloud backup protects against NAS-wide events including ransomware, fire, and theft.
03
Daily Job Monitoring
Every NAS backup job is checked daily. Failed or stalled jobs are acted on the same day.
04
Granular Restore
Restore one file, a folder, or an entire share. You do not have to restore everything to get one thing back.
05
Ransomware-Isolated Storage
Cloud destinations are designed so ransomware on the NAS or a mapped drive cannot reach the backup.
06
PDPA-Aligned
Encrypted, retention-controlled, documented. Designed to support Singapore PDPA evidence requirements.
Common Questions
NAS Backup FAQ
The questions small business owners ask most about NAS backup.
Doesn't RAID protect my NAS data?
RAID protects against drive failure inside the NAS. It does not protect against deletion, ransomware, theft, fire, or NAS-wide failures. RAID is availability protection — not backup.
Aren't NAS snapshots enough?
Built-in NAS snapshots are useful for fast rollback inside the device. They are still on the same device — they do not protect against NAS-wide events. Off-device backup is required.
Which NAS devices do you support?
We back up Synology, QNAP, and most other NAS platforms common in SMBs. Compatibility is confirmed during the free consult.
Where is the backup stored?
Backup is stored in two layers: a local destination for fast recovery, and an encrypted cloud destination for off-site resilience. Cloud storage is independent of the NAS.
How often does NAS backup run?
Backup jobs run daily on an automated schedule. We can configure more frequent intervals for high-change-rate shares.
Can I restore just one file?
Yes. File-level backup supports restore at any granularity — a single file, a folder, or an entire share.
What is the difference between this and NAS snapshot backup?
File-based NAS backup is best for granular item recovery. NAS snapshot backup captures full NAS recovery points for whole-NAS recovery. Many clients use both.
How do I get started?
Schedule a free consultation. We confirm NAS compatibility, scope the data, and recommend the right backup approach. No commitment required.
