Carbonite v3.7.4 Review
Posted on 2009-07-03 16:48:07 by Thomas De MaesschalckIf you’ve decided to use an online backup service, Carbonite is the best in the business. There are many positive points that the service provides including ease of use, the security of off-site storage, and low cost. On the downside, some people may get nervous about having their complete data in the hands of others and feel out of control, and you need a fast always-on broadband connection - the service would be totally impractical on a slow connection and impossible on dial up. But the same can be said about all online backup services. The long initial upload is also worth remembering as is can take many hours and perhaps days to complete if you are backing up a large hard disk drive. On the plus side, the upload operates in the background which means that your computer can still be used, but it does mean that the computer needs to be on with constant access to a high speed broadband connection during this time. Backing up a computer’s hard drive is becoming an increasingly important part of digital life. There’s no better online solution than Carbonite. Its hand-holding approach and close integration with Windows makes it accessible to all.
