A wee bit backward with the facts (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

data

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'facts' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'a wee bit backward' is the wordplay.
'wee bit' becomes 'tad' (I've seen this before. I am not sure about the 'wee' bit.).
'backward' says the letters should be written in reverse.
'a'+'tad'='atad'
'atad' written backwards gives 'DATA'.

'with the' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for data that I've seen before include "Numerical information" , "Facts given" , "Pieces of information" , "Listed facts" , "Collection of facts, information" .)
