NAS Disaster-Readiness Checkup

A backup checkup that tells home NAS owners what they'd lose to ransomware

Problem

After hearing about hacked Synology NAS devices, a user wanted to back up nearly 1TB of family photos and videos but found cloud drives unreliable and inconvenient, and had no idea which setup to choose. The real gap isn't tools, it's a guided check that says which layer is missing and what a ransomware attack would cost them.

Solution

A questionnaire-driven checkup: users input NAS model, data volume and existing backup targets, and get a multi-layer backup score (local snapshots, offsite, offline/immutable, cold cloud), flagged single points of failure, and concrete setup steps such as snapshot schedules, rclone jobs and offline drive rotation reminders.

Users

Households and small studios with 0.5-5TB of family photos on Synology, QNAP or DIY NAS

MVP

Questionnaire-based risk assessment; coverage scoring for local and offsite backup; brand-specific configuration checklists; offline drive rotation reminders; exportable plan PDF to share with family

Revenue

Free checkup plus paid expert plan packages; affiliate revenue on backup drives and cloud storage

Why now

NAS hacks and ransomware are trending in Chinese and global communities, decade-long family data cannot be recreated, and existing guidance is scattered forum posts with no structured checkup product
