Carbonite The Backup Solution Or Historic Fail?

When it comes to keeping your files safe from virus’s, crashes and the worm there are not many choices on the net today. However a player that has a seemingly impeccable record has recently surfaced more and more. Carbonite is making great gains as a backup service provider but is it really necessary to pay them to do this for you? Granted the yearly fee is only $54.95 but its still more money going out and before I do that I want to know what you all think.

The decsion is really up-to you if you think its worth it but in my own opinion it can’t possibly be worth paying a backup service to do what I can do myself on an external hard drive every week…

That brings the question, what do you think? Is a online backup service worth it? Give me your thoughts and opinions and lets discover the majority vote! Once I have the majority vote I can decide better whether its worth it for me or not.

I do want to mention the fact that Carbonitehas won the Cnet Webware top 100 award for 2009. Its a great honor and I believe with a little more time Carbonitecould turn into a bigger service that more people use. I think before it can truly become big the Internet speeds globally will need to get quicker for the cheaper price. Here is a short snippet of what Cnet had to say about Carbonite!

Carbonite is an online storage provider that specializes in backup. Users install a small piece of software on their machine, which automatically syncs any new or changed files over a secured connection. In case of an emergency, you can simply use the software to get everything back, and because it’s not localized to where your machine is, you can get that backup from wherever you have a connection.

Carbonite isn’t a free service, but there’s no limit on the size of your computer’s backup, something which makes it more attractive as the speed of home Internet connections continues to rise.

I think that pretty much says all that needs to be said don’t you think?

    Online business (well any business) is about outsourcing and not having to do stuff yourself. If you don’t learn to take yourself out of the equation then you have just created another JOB for yourself.

    If you’re able to make more money doing your business than it’ll cost you to spend the time doing backup, then by all means have someone else do it.

  16. I have seen lots of people review on the carbonite!Generally we get a lot of service of the backup on the internet but only some of them are giving very satisfactory results of their service but since i have seen lot of peoples reviewing on it so i think i should give a try on the carbonite!

  17. Don’t forget that there’s a security aspect too.

  18. free website says:

    This is useful for taking backup from your computer which may be loss anytime that users are very well aware of that.

  19. help ful resource and a great backup solution.

  20. I would consider Jungle Disk but the costs are substantially higher. I can back up everything that I need to with Carbonite for $50 per year. Jungle Disk would run me $150 per year plus transfer costs, so probably close to $200 a year.
