Access your files from anywhere

One of the key reasons a laptop computer was created was to enable people to carry a computer with them when they are on the go. Today many people use the same laptop whilst they are at their desk as well as on the road.

There are however many who have a desktop for their office work with a sizeable hard drive and then use the laptop purely for on the road work such as client presentations and checking/replying to emails. The new net books that are now flooding the market are ideal for this scenario. Being so light weight they are affordable making them ideal for the person on the road.

The one dilemma faced by those that use a desktop at work, is how to access an important file when they are on the road that have forgotten to transfer it.

Carbonite recently released a new service called Remote Access which offers our travelling laptop users easy access to all the files on their desktop.

By subscribing to Carbonite and backing up the desktop computer, the travelling laptop user, can then log into their Carbonite account from anywhere an internet connection is available and remotely download the files they require to their laptop. They don’t need a 2nd Carbonite subscription, just an internet connection. What is also impressive about this, is that they don’t need to log into their clunky work network, having to remember special passwords etc.

So when they are next stuck in a bind, wondering how they can get access to that report they saved to their desktop a few weeks ago, Carbonite Remote Access will solve the problem for them. And, if they make any changes to the file, they simple need to transfer it to the desktop, so that Carbonite can backup the latest version.

This is what Choice Magazine wrote about Carbonite in its latest edition:

It’s ideal for laptop and netbook users in particular, providing backup and restore access anywhere there’s an internet connection.

Carbonite Remote Access comes free with your Carbonite subscription and can be accessed anytime via the web.
