Let Carbonite do your online backup for you
21st February 2008
One online storage site with a difference is www.carbonite.com, where for $49.95 a year (about £25) you get unlimited backup space, but not only that, all the files in your computer are backed up automatically as you create them – brilliant. So once you’ve done the big initial upload upon signing up the rest is easy – you can also set times for scheduled backups if you think the constant auto-backup is going to slow down your web connection. Like a lot of the forward-thinking storage companies now, Carbonite are offering a revert to different edits of a document, in case you perform a silly change then save it, and keep deleted files for 30 days as a safety net in case of mind-changing or mistakes.
There’s a free 15 day trial – try Carbonite here.
