What is Carbonite and who is it for?

Carbonite is a simple, safe online backup service for casual home computer users, students, home office users, business travelers, etc. For less than five dollars a month, Carbonite will back up all the irreplaceable data on your computer (digital photos, music, office documents, and other valuable files) whenever your computer is connected to the Internet.

Carbonite is very easy to set up and use, requiring little or no ongoing user involvement. Our service is always on and continually backing up files on your computer whenever it is connected to the Internet.

Will Carbonite work on my computer?

The current version of Carbonite is designed for Windows XP and Windows Vista. Carbonite supports both the standard 32-bit and 64-bit versions of both XP and Vista. Carbonite will not support older versions of Windows (Windows 98, Windows 2000, and Windows ME).

Carbonite is also available for all Intel-based Macs running OS 10.4 (Tiger) or 10.5 (Leopard).

What is the likelihood of catastrophic data loss?

If you haven't already had a disk crash or some other catastrophic data loss, consider yourself in the lucky minority! Surveys show that nearly 2/3 of PC users have experienced some form of catastrophic data loss. Statistically, you have about a 1 in 12 chance of having your hard drive crash in any given year, about a 1 in 10 chance of having your laptop stolen, and about a 1 in 3 chance of serious data loss through your own errors. This means in a single year your chance of needing to restore a file is nearly 60%.

The going price for recovering data from a crashed hard disk is $750 to $1000. Is it really worth risking your irreplaceable digital photos, important documents and other data when you can buy protection for just a few dollars a month?
