It is reported the 6% of all PCS will suffer an episode of data loss during the year. With companies the fatal effect of large scale data loss is well known, in the majority of cases the results are terminal and the companies will not survive.

The software will be available for use via the Internet and hence the documents will tend to be stores online rather than on your personal computer.
