Product Description
Your computer is filled with irreplaceable files: emails, photos, music, business contacts and financials. Carbonite automatically and securely backs up the irreplaceable contents of your computer for under $54.95 per year no matter how much stuff you need to back up. Carbonite Online Backup can save you from the costly nightmare of recovering lost files. For only $54.95/ year, you'll be able to recover lost files quickly and easily from any PC. And because Carbonite offers you unlimited storage for a flat rate, you can back up as much as you'd like without having to worry about going over a storage limit. For security, your files will be double- encrypted so only you can see them. At Carbonite, we make worrying about your precious files, a thing of the past.
A small program on your computer
Carbonite installs a small software program on your computer that works quietly in the background looking for new and changed files to back up. It looks and feels like part of your computer, and is integrated with your desktop, so there's nothing new to learn.
Completely secure
Carbonite takes data privacy and security very seriously. We encrypt your files twice before backing them up securely offsite, using the same encryption techniques that banks use. Files remain encrypted at our secure data centers, so only you can see them.
Everything is automatic
When your computer is idle, Carbonite automatically backs up new and changed files. You don't have to do anything! When you're using your computer, Carbonite goes to sleep so it will never slow down your computer or internet connection.
Get your files back with a few clicks
With Carbonite, restoring files is quick and easy. If you accidentally delete or otherwise lose some of your files, it takes just a few clicks from your desktop to get them back. If your computer is damaged, stolen or "just dies" and you lose all your files, you can easily restore them to a new computer.
What does Carbonite back up?
By default, Carbonite backs up everything in your Documents and Settings folder, including documents, settings, photos, email, music, and data files from other applications, such as Quicken, Money, etc. The default backup does not include programs, system files, temporary files, videos, or individual files greater than 4GB. You can, however, force Carbonite to add any of these to your backup.
Only you can see your files
Carbonite encrypts your files twice before they leave your PC. They remain encrypted on our servers, making it virtually impossible for anyone to access your files without your secret password. Carbonite uses a combination of encryption techniques, similar to those used by banks, to safeguard your data.
Unlimited Backup
You can store as much as you have on your computer. There are no limits on backup storage capacity. Carbonite will back up all the supported files on your hard drive whether you have 1GB, 10GB or more. As a practical matter, however, the speed of today's DSL and cable Internet services will make it very slow to back up more than, say, a few dozen GB of data.
Fast and easy restore
Carbonite makes restoring files fast and easy. Restore any file or folder from your backup with a single click. If your PC crashes or is stolen you can recover lost files by visiting our website.
Recovering small amounts of data (a few files here or there) will probably take only seconds or minutes. Restoring all of your data will take longer and depends on how much data you have and the speed of your Internet connection. Most DSL services will allow you to download about 600-800 MB per hour, or roughly 14-18GB per day. For an average user, complete data restoration is likely to take at most a day or two.
