Carbonite Automatically and Securely Backs Up Irreplaceable Contents of Computers
Every year, 43 percent of computer users lose irreplaceable files. The irreplaceable contents of their computers are backed up automatically, no matter how much stuff they need to back up, by Carbonite. Restoring lost files takes just a few clicks.
Carbonite installs a small application on your computer that works quietly in the background looking for new and changed files that need to be backed up. 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.
If anything happens to your computer, restoring lost files is easy. To restore a specific file or folder, simply open the Carbonite Backup Drive from your desktop. Files and folders are organized in the backup drive exactly as they are on your computer. Right-click and select “restore” once you locate the specific file or folder. The software will restore the file or folder to its original location on your hard drive. 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. With just a few clicks, the Carbonite Restore Wizard will help you restore all of your files to your new computer.
Carbonite scans the hard disk looking for files to back up after installation. Carbonite automatically backs up all file types except executables (such as .exe and .dll), system files, temporary files and video files. However, any of the excluded file types can be manually added to the backup by right-clicking on the file and selecting “Back this up” from the Carbonite menu. Upon setup, Carbonite offers a wide array of options for customizing your backup, but 95 percent of Carbonite users prefer to stick with the default settings.
