A mirrored Synology NAS and a full backup setup for your computer, Google Workspace and Xero, all registered in your name.
The usual rate is $120 per hour. On the estimated 10.5 hours you save $420.00 ex GST.
The two drives work as a mirror, so your usable space is the size of one drive. If one drive fails, your data stays safe on the other.
Two line items: the equipment, and the time to set it all up and prove it works.
Synology DS223j 2-bay NAS with two WD Red Plus 4TB NAS drives, supplied and set up as a mirror.
Estimated 10.5 hours at $80 per hour ex GST (usual rate $120). Billed on actual time at the same $80 rate. If the work looks like running over, I will tell you before it does.
Order and collect the equipment, fit the drives, update the NAS software and set up the mirror so one drive can fail without losing data.
