Downtime cost
Backup is not an expense line; it is insurance. To see what it insures against, calculate the loss first: what does your business lose per day when the server goes down?
A rough figure is enough. The calculation uses 250 working days.
How long work stops when the server goes down.
How much still runs on paper and phone? A higher figure lowers the loss.

The cost of this outage
₺67.200
daily revenue ₺48.000 · 2 days · 30% of work assumed to continue
Estimated recovery time today: 1–3 days, uncertain. Data lost: everything since the last backup. An untested backup does not count as a backup; most businesses learn theirs is broken the moment they need it.

VAT excluded
Having a backup is good but not enough. The cheapest step is a single restore test: only that shows whether the backup actually opens.
A single outage costs 1,1× the setup. Backup here is not an expense; it is a one-off insurance premium.
This is a preliminary estimate. The figure follows from what you enter; no firm price can be given without an on-site survey. Enough for budgeting, not for a contract — the firm price appears in the formal quote prepared after the survey. All figures exclude VAT and use the Turkish Central Bank rate of 2026-10-07.
