Version: Carbonite Online PC Backup 2.0.193
"Super cheap and easy to use-- get an extra copy for your mom's PC"
Pros: The product did just what it said it would do -- it backed up all my files while I was using my computer and I didn't notice any slowdown. I barely had to do anything to get it started, and now it's just running in the background, backing up files as I add or change them.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
At first I was confused about how to restore a file, but it was easy once I found Carbonite's virtual drive. (Look for the blue lock icon in your My Computer folder.) The drive shows you all the files in your backup and you can right-click on any file or folder to restore it to its original folder on your PC (or someplace else, like your desktop).
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
But probably the best part of this service is it's so cheap! It's only $50 a year to backup all the files on your PC -- this is by far the best deal I've seen for online backup!
Cons: The first backup does take a while. (Same problem you run into with all online backup software.)But once the first backup is done the program only backs up new files and changes, so don't get discouraged.
