I need a hands-on IT technician who can come to our office in Singapore and carry out a clean installation and first-run configuration of two pieces of software: Microsoft SQL Server and Acronis (backup suite) on a freshly prepared Windows machine. Here is what the visit will cover: • Install the required edition of SQL Server, apply the latest cumulative updates, create an initial user database, and confirm network connectivity for remote clients. • Install Acronis, register the licence, set up the first full system image, and schedule an automated daily incremental backup to our NAS. • Verify that both products start with Windows and write a short report summarising versions, settings, and any recommendations. All media, licences, and local admin access will be provided; please bring any bootable tools you normally rely on. A stable fibre connection is available on site for additional downloads. Let me know your earliest on-site availability and the approximate time you expect to spend so I can arrange access with building security.

Hi there, I see you need an on-site visit in Singapore – clean install of SQL Server + cumulative updates, create the first user database and confirm remote connectivity, then Acronis install, license registration, full system image to your NAS with daily incrementals scheduled. That’s a straightforward half-day job and I can come prepared. What I’ll do: ✅ Install your SQL Server edition, apply latest CU, set up the initial database and verify the port is open for remote clients ✅ Deploy Acronis, register your license, take the first full image, schedule automated daily incremental to the NAS ✅ Validate both services start with Windows and provide a short summary report with versions, key settings and any recommendations ✅ Before any change I’ll verify the machine’s current state and create a quick recovery checkpoint so nothing breaks ✅ Windows Server & SQL Server administration (MSSQL 2012–2022) ✅ Acronis Cyber Protect/Backup – full image, scheduling to NAS ✅ On-site documentation and network connectivity checks ✅ Technical Support – 7+ years hands-on ✅ Microsoft® Certified: MCSA | MCSE | MCT ✅ 300+ projects delivered, 280+ five-star reviews Why me: I’ll fit this around your earliest availability and can respond fast if scheduling changes. One question – is the SQL edition Standard or Express, and do you already have a specific instance name / collation in mind?

Hello! A clean installation is only successful when SQL Server connectivity is validated and the backup system has been tested—not simply when both applications install without errors. I'm a Senior SQL Server DBA & IT professional with 10+ years of experience working with SQL Server 2000–2022, Windows environments, database installations, configuration, backup/recovery, and production support. I can help you: • Install the required SQL Server edition and latest applicable cumulative updates • Configure services, authentication, TCP/IP, firewall rules, and remote connectivity • Create and validate the initial database • Install and activate Acronis using your provided licence • Configure the initial full system image and automated daily incremental backups to NAS • Verify backup completion and perform recovery validation where practical • Confirm required services start correctly with Windows • Provide concise documentation covering versions, configuration, backup schedule, and recommendations My focus is on delivering a properly validated and documented setup rather than simply installing the software. I can coordinate the on-site visit based on your preferred schedule and provide an estimated completion time after confirming the SQL Server edition, Acronis product/version, and NAS configuration.

I only handle remote installs, not on-site visits. If you’re flexible with remote support, I can walk you through a clean SQL Server install (any edition), patch it, set up the first database, and configure remote access. Same with Acronis: I’ll guide the installation, connect to your NAS, set up job schedules, and send you a summary of versions and settings. All you need is TeamViewer or AnyDesk on the Windows server. If remote is not an option and you need in-person in Singapore, this is not a fit. Pradeep

Hi, A reliable SQL Server and backup environment is essential because even a small configuration mistake can affect business continuity and make recovery difficult when it's needed most. One common issue is that SQL Server network protocols, Windows services, or Acronis backup jobs appear configured correctly but fail after a reboot or during the first scheduled backup. I'll perform a clean installation, validate SQL connectivity from remote clients, configure and test automated backups to your NAS, verify all services start correctly with Windows, and provide a concise configuration report with recommendations. A couple of questions: 1. Which edition and version of SQL Server and Acronis would you like installed, and is SQL authentication, Windows authentication, or both required? 2. Is the NAS already accessible from the Windows machine with the required permissions, or should I also configure and validate the connection? Let's talk more via chat. Thank you

Hello, "Install the required edition of SQL Server" – you need a clean install that also connects reliably to remote clients. I’ll run the SQL Server setup in silent mode, apply the latest cumulative updates, and configure the default instance with a dedicated service account to avoid permission conflicts. Then I’ll register Acronis, create the first full image, and script the daily incremental backup to your NAS using the Acronis CLI so the schedule survives reboots. Will you be using a specific SQL Server edition (e.g., Standard or Express) for this deployment? Looking forward to working with you. Artur Giżycki
