1. Why Every Small Business in Australia Needs Cloud Backup (Before It’s Too Late) • www.futureway.com.au

2. Introduction Running a small business in Australia isn’t easy. Between managing clients, staff, and cash flow, the last thing you want to worry about is whether your business data is safe. Yet for many businesses, one unexpected event — like a server crash, a ransomware attack, or a staff mistake — can bring everything to a grinding halt. That’s where a reliable Cloud Backup solution comes in. At Futureway, we help Australian small businesses protect what matters most: their data. • www.futureway.com.au

3. The Real Risks Small Businesses Face • Here’s the reality: • “What if your computer or server crashes tomorrow?” • Hardware fails. Even brand-new systems can suddenly stop working, leaving you without access to critical files. • “What if ransomware locks your files?” • Cybercriminals don’t just target big corporations. In fact, small businesses are often easier targets because their defences are weaker. One wrong click on an email can lock down your entire business. • “What if a staff member accidentally deletes important data?” • It happens more often than you’d think — and without a proper backup, those files may be gone forever. • www.futureway.com.au

4. Why Small Businesses Can’t Rely on Google Drive or OneDrive Alone • Many business owners think tools like OneDrive or Google Drive are enough. Unfortunately, they aren’t designed to protect you from every scenario. For example: • If ransomware encrypts files on your computer, those infected files may sync straight into your cloud storage. • If someone accidentally deletes a file, it may be permanently erased after a short time. • Recovery times can be slow and complicated. • That’s why you need a dedicated cloud backup solution designed for business continuity, not just file storage. • www.futureway.com.au

5. Who Needs Cloud Backup the Most? Some industries face especially high risks: 📁 Accounting firms – Protect sensitive client financial data and Xero/QuickBooks backups. 🏥 Medical & allied health practices – Stay compliant with My Health Record and privacy laws. 🏢 Legal & real estate firms – Safeguard contracts, deeds, and confidential documents. 🛍️ Retail & e-commerce – Protect your POS systems and customer databases. If your business falls into one of these categories, a data loss event could mean thousands in lost revenue — or even regulatory penalties. • www.futureway.com.au
