Carbonite Automatically and Securely Backs Up Irreplaceable Contents of Computers
Every year, 43 percent of computer users lose irreplaceable files. Carbonite automatically and securely backs up the irreplaceable contents of their computers – no matter how much stuff they need to back up. It takes just a few clicks to restore lost files.
A small application on your computer that works quietly in the background looking for new and changed files that need to be backed up is installed by the Carbonite software. It looks and feels just like part of your computer, and is integrated with your desktop — there’s no new interface for you to learn.
Restoring lost files is easy if anything happens to your computer. To restore a specific file or folder, simply open the Carbonite Backup Drive from your desktop. Organized exactly as they are on your computer, files and folders can be found in the backup drive. Right-click and select “restore” once you locate the specific file or folder. The file will be restored to its original location on your hard drive by the software. You will also have the option of restoring the file to a new location, by selecting “Restore to…” or recovering a previous version of the file by selecting “Restore previous versions…”
Go to carbonite.com and click the Restore tab to log in to your account and restore your files if you need to restore everything in your backup to a new or repaired computer. The Carbonite Restore Wizard will help you restore all of your files to your new computer with just a few clicks.
Carbonite scans the hard disk looking for files to back up after installation. All file types except executables (such as .exe and .dll), system files, temporary files and video files are automatically backed up by Carbonite. By right-clicking on the file and selecting “Back this up” from the Carbonite menu, however, any of the excluded file types can be manually added to the backup. Carbonite offers a wide range of options for customizing your backup, upon setup, but 95 percent of the program’s users prefer to stick with the default settings, according to the company Web site.
