Data loss has cost Australian businesses 65.5 Billion dollars last year.

According to a survey conducted as part of the EMC Global Data Protection Index 64 percent of Australian business have experienced data loss due to a disaster or disruption. When the surveyors investigated, they found that business who have experienced a disruption experienced a 54% loss in employee productivity and a loss of revenue of 44%.

That is nearly half of business overall revenue. And for a small business, this could be devastating.
