[dba-Tech] Once and for all time: server backups

90 minutes, Max, and she has corporate email for employees (1 at the moment)
and she can maintain the site herself for ever more, and it only costs €7
.95 per year to renew the domain.

I hate to see small business spending €500 - €1000 per year, over a five
year period for websites that bring them no real value.  I always tell them,
for €500 you can give it to someone else and you avoid a day of struggling
with a web design concept, but for €5000, would you re-consider.

Assuming they will be in business in five years, thats what it will cost,
and what I propose on Google apps costs nothing, zero euro :)

I love it.

I set up 17 websites with this system in four hours last year, admittedly
they were all the same look and feel, but every site had two pages including
contact us.

Thanks for looking at it Max,

Mark
