What is Carbonite Online Backup?
Carbonite is an unlimited online backup service that currently costs AU$59.95 per year. For this yearly flat fee you can backup as much data as you like, securely, remotely and automatically.
How Carbonite Works:
How does carbonite backup your data securely, remotely and automatically? Here’s how:
- A small software application is installed on your computer that works in the background looking for new or changed files to back up. It’s integrated with your desktop. All you do is choose the folders you want kept backed up.
- Security is important. Your files are encrypted twice before they are sent off-site, using the same encryption techniques that banks use. Files remain encrypted at the Carbonite secure data centers, so only you can view them and retrieve them.
- Automation. Carbonite automatically backs up any new or changed files when you’re not using your computer. When you are using your computer, Carbonite hibernates so it won’t slow down your computer or internet connection.
- Restoring files is easy. If you accidentally delete or lose some of your files, a few clicks and you can retrieve them in no time. If your computer is damaged, stolen or destroyed and you lose all your data, you can easily restore them to a new computer.
