## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-09-27 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> ## The short version
> 
> "Remote team" backup is really two separate problems, and most people only solve one:

Roughly $10/device/month annually on Small Business. It's the most boring, reliable answer and that's the point.
