Carbonite, the data backup client offering data protection with a 15 Petabyte storage capacity , provides internet and computer users an indispensable service, at a winning rate of only pennies a day. They offer a 15-day free trial, to introduce you to their services.
Carbonite, a company offering secure data storage and backup, will, for mere pennies a day, store your important files, documents, photos, emails, etc. All of them. To the tune of 1.5 petabytes of total data storage capacity.
The Carbonite client is then always looking for new data on your PC. When you add or modify files, Carbonite starts backing them up immediately. It backs up about 2GB per day over broadband. Carbonite’s backup solution works by placing colored dots on your files and folders. Different colors represent different “file states”: 1) If the file has been backed up, 2) will be backed up or 3) will not be backed up.
Once Carbonite is setup, it requires little ongoing work on behalf of the user, and reads and stores your data as long as you’re on the internet. Users can also log on to the Carbonite site and access their files.
The question on their web site, How much stuff can I back up? is answered:
There are no limits on backup storage capacity. Carbonite will back up all the supported files on your internal hard drive whether you have 1GB, 10GB or more. However, users should be aware that 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.
