 Carbonite review August 6, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Software was very easy to set up and use. It automatically selected my documents on the C drive. Since I store most digital data files on a partitioned drive, that had to be selected separately. The first backup did take a long time despite leaving the computer on for 8 nights. My data files were over 50 GB in size, so I assume this is normal. It does slow down Internet speed during this first download. I am satisfied overall, since I rely more and more on digital files in an attempt to have a paperless office. The price was reasonable, especially with the rebate for the first year.
 Does what it said it would do. May 30, 2008

Installed the product and it started to back up files--you have to check to make sure it is doing what you want it to, otherwise it picks the files. It took about two weeks but it tells you that it might take a while. Other than that, it runs in the background and checks for new items. [...] I recommend this product. I am on my third external hard drive and I don't trust them as the only backup.
Fantastic product. Easy to use. Excellent customer service. March 21, 2008

My husband and I have been using this product for about 6 months on two different computers - mine is running Windows Vista and his is running XP. We have not had any problems with either platform.
Product is easy to use. You choose which folders to back-up. The back-up happens in the background and we didn't notice any decrease in speed or performance during the back-ups.
Once the initial backup has been completed (this can take a while if you are backing up lots of music or video files - but it's in the background so you don't even notice it working), it automatically backs up any files that you have added or changed.
I had some foreign-language music files that displayed as "???" in the back-up, so I contacted customer service to see if there was a problem. Their customer service is EXCEPTIONAL. I actually got to speak to a person who knew something about the product and was helpful.
Later my husband called customer service because we hadn't received our rebates. They took our information, confirmed that we are actually registered users and we received our checks two weeks later. They also sent an email to confirm our conversation. Awesome!
I would say that the product is worth buying just for the excellent customer service.
The only thing that we can't speak to, fortunately, is how the process for recovering files works. We don't know how easy this is but we expect that it works fine.
Video files not automatically backed-up! February 26, 2008

Video files are not automatically backed-up. They need to be individually selected by going into folders and sub-folders. There is no one-stop option to universally backup videos. This is the major drawback. They need to make it very clear in their advertising and marketing.
Other than that it does what it promises and keeps it simple.
So simple January 18, 2008

Purchased this for a family member that relies on her computer, but hasn't been able to secure a reliable backup. Installation was quick and simple. I called the 800 with a question, received the info I needed and promised email details within 5 minutes.
