That is a service I
know of one guy who used to always use workstation class machines for SBS
anyway - so if you have a few in the office you have redundancy on site.

Years of 2 or 4 hour 7x24 Onsite Service. If the server is older than 5 years,

I'd probably offer it as a service for a nominal fee - maybe $25 a month per
customer? Of course you run the risk of having multiple customers suffer
failures at the same time and they'll be rightfully upset if you don't have the
spare hardware available to get them back up when that happens...

Why not give the clients each a server which can be re-tasked at short notice?
If you store the backup images on a device that you can hyper-v up if necessary
then it has great value for the client to have available for themselves.

'cause small biz customers are the definition of penny wise, pound

they'll

If you get them to buy into the $25/mo peace of mind, then start with a
single server, but add another for every 4-7 clients that buys into the
service (use a number that works to minimize your risk here). If you had
4 or 5 customers buying into this, the servers would pay for themselves in

This is actually the other idea I was considering, have this 2nd server host
the patching/anti-virus, etc stuff on a VM and the host could also store the

There is some value in having it offsite in case of disaster or equipment gets
stolen. You could be snazzy and do both onsite and charge the $25 for an
offsite option.
