CARBONITE ONLINE PC-BACKUP

Carbonite PC-Backup, an online backup service that launched in May of 2006, has revolutionized the market for consumer and small business backup services, having backed up over 6 billion files and, more importantly, restored over 250 million files that would have been lost forever. They now offer unlimited backup space for a flat, low annual price.

Every year, 43% of computer users lose irreplaceable files. However, Carbonite users are protected with automatic, secure backups of photos, emails, music, financial records, and other important documents, no matter of how much stuff needs to be backed up. And restoring files takes just a few clicks.

How Carbonite PC-Backup Works:

  1. A Small Program on Your Computer

  2. Carbonite installs a small application on your computer that works quietly in the background looking for new and changed files that need to be backed up. It looks and feels like part of your computer, and is integrated with your desktop so there's no new interface for you to learn.

  3. Easy and Automatic Backup

  4. When your computer is idle, Carbonite automatically backs up your 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 you down or interfere with your internet connection.

  5. Privacy and Security

  6. Carbonite double encrpyts your files, just like banks, so you can be sure your they are safe and only YOU can see your files -- guaranteed! You are even given the option of keeping your own encryption key.

  7. Fast and Simply Recovery

  8. With Carbonite, file recovery is quick and hassle-free. If you accidentally delete or otherwise lose files, it takes just a few clicks on your desktop to get them back. If your computer is damaged, stolen, or "just dies" and you lose all your files, just visit Carbonite's website from a new computer. Within minutes you'll be able to begin restoring all your files.

Five Reasons to Try Carbonite PC-Backup:

  1. Losing your most valuable files is a very real possibility! Every year, 43% of computer users lose irreplaceable photos, emails, documents, and financial records.

  2. Your files aren't safe unless your backup is up-to-date and stored securely in an offsite location. Fires, floods, theft, and other natural disasters can render onsite backups useless.

  3. Carbonite is so easy: it's automatic, continual, and won't slow down your PC. Best of all, recovering files from any computer is quick and hassel-free.

  4. Everything is secure: your files will be encrypted twice using the same technology as banks, so only you can see your files -- guaranteed!

  5. Risk-free Trial: Try Carbonite FREE for 15 days. No credit card is required.
