Anthony Rosier can identify the size and specifications of a bolt, nut or screw at 20 paces. He runs a small hardware wholesale business in Sydney's Sutherland Shire, specialising in the importation and supply of small hardware. After 28 years in business, the company, General Fasteners, is expanding, Rosier is putting on staff and having to think seriously about what would happen if his computer systems went down.
"About three months ago, I decided we needed to back up our data offsite because if we lost it we would be out of business," Rosier says. "We don't have an IT guy, it's all basically up to me, and losing our data was always at the back of my mind.”
