Carbonite Automatically and Securely Backs Up Irreplaceable Contents of Computers
Forty-three percent of computer users lose irreplaceable files every year. The irreplaceable contents of their computers are backed up automatically, no matter how much stuff they need to back up, by Carbonite. It takes just a few clicks to restore lost files.
Working quietly in the background, Carbonite installs a small application on your computer, 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. Locate the specific file or folder, right-click and select “restore.” 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. The Carbonite Restore Wizard will help you restore all of your files to your new computer with just a few clicks.
Once installation is complete, the Carbonite software looks for files to back up by scanning the hard disk. All file types except executables (such as .exe and .dll), system files, temporary files and video files are automatically backed up by Carbonite. By right-clicking on the file and selecting “Back this up” from the Carbonite menu, however, any of the excluded file types can be manually added to the backup. 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.
