Product Description:
You know that creating regular PC backups is important, but you never seem to get around to burning those CDs or copying your files to your expensive and complicated external hard drive? Sound familiar? Well PC backup doesn't have to be such a pain in the neck!
PC Backups with Carbonite automatically finds all your data files -- photos, documents, music, emails, everything! Simple to use, with nothing new to learn -- Carbonite just looks like another disk drive on your computer with a copy of all your data. Sit back and relax while Carbonite automatically finds all your data files, encrypts them, and backs them up over the Internet to our secure servers. Big companies always back up their data off-site, and now you can too.
Carbonite runs in the background, making sure new and changed files are backed up every day. But Carbonite never slows down your Internet connection or your PC. Backup operations automatically slow down whenever you're actively using your computer and speed up again when your computer is idle. The Carbonite Secure Backup drive in your My Computer folder shows you all the files and folders in your backup, organized just as they are on your computer. To restore a file or folder, just right-click on it and select ?Restore? - it will be put back in its original location on your hard drive. Or, select ?Restore to?? and save the file or folder to a new location. Strong encryption for super security Backs up approximately 2GB per day over DSL or Cable Carbonite installs with one click. Sit back and relax while Carbonite automatically finds all your data files, encrypts them, and backs them up over the Internet to Carbonite's secure servers Requires broadband Internet connection & Windows XP Home or Professional Operating Systems

 Fantastic product. Easy to use. Excellent customer service., 2008-03-21
My husband and I have been using this product for about 6 months on two different computers - mine is running Windows Vista and his is running XP. We have not had any problems with either platform.
Product is easy to use. You choose which folders to back-up. The back-up happens in the background and we didn't notice any decrease in speed or performance during the back-ups.
Once the initial backup has been completed (this can take a while if you are backing up lots of music or video files - but it's in the background so you don't even notice it working), it automatically backs up any files that you have added or changed.
I had some foreign-language music files that displayed as "???" in the back-up, so I contacted customer service to see if there was a problem. Their customer service is EXCEPTIONAL. I actually got to speak to a person who knew something about the product and was helpful.
Later my husband called customer service because we hadn't received our rebates. They took our information, confirmed that we are actually registered users and we received our checks two weeks later. They also sent an email to confirm our conversation. Awesome!
I would say that the product is worth buying just for the excellent customer service.
The only thing that we can't speak to, fortunately, is how the process for recovering files works. We don't know how easy this is but we expect that it works fine.
