Carbonite restores over 200 million lost files

Carbonite, the leading online backup service for consumers and small business, announced today it had surpassed 200 million files restored through the Carbonite Online PCBackup™ service.

“I’ve never had a business before where you actually get fan mail every day,” said Carbonite founder and CEO David Friend. “13 percent of our customers have had to do a complete restore and 46 percent have restored at least some of their files. When you’ve lost your files, the $60 for Carbonite seems like such an insignificant amount. So a lot of people send us their thanks. We’ve now saved over 200 million files. That milestone represents a lot of happy customers.

Since it was founded in 2005, Carbonite has backed up more than three billion files in addition to the 200 million files restored.
