Carbonite reliably backs up standard data like documents, pictures and more, plus any custom files depicted by the user. Carbonite allows unlimited storage per computer, keeping multiple versions which are easily selected for recovery.

A cursory glance within Windows Explorer allows the user to easily tell if a file has been successfully backed up via the colored dot overlaying the file icon. A right-click context menu allows individual file and folder backup customization. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Carbonite charges extra for the ability to backup data stored on USB drives and video files. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that Mozy backs up my files! If I need a new laptop then I have all my files already backed up! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Mozy is very resource heavy.. it slows my laptop down! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I can "set and forget it" - but if a backup hasn't been able to complete, I get a notice about that so I can always make sure my files and data is protected. The ability to get to my files and data anywhere that I have an internet connection is invaluable, and one that I've used several times. I don't dread replacing my computer now that I have Mozy - it's very simple to move from one device to another. I also like being able to have my husband's computer on my plan, so I have piece of mind that both devices are being regularly backed up. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

In the event that you have to restore your files, it can be very time consuming - but considering how much data is being saved, it's a small price to pay. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Simple and easy to save my data in one click Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

To reinstall data take some times a lot. But the information is worth it Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I had no opportunity to like anything.After 5 years of paying for Carbonite backups, I had call to use it when my trusty pc crashed. I was asked to reset my password when I tried to log on, and subsequently not permitted to reset it until I answered security questions that, quite frankly, I could not answer unless I was actually logged into my account. After 2 attempts to work with customer service and getting nowhere,, I paid someone to pull the files off my old hard drive and cancelled Carbonite service. Ironically they gave me no issue about questioning my identity as the account holder when I called, lol. I mean, I could have been anyone. They also said they could get me access to my account now if I wanted. Of course they could, they could have done that all along, and they chose not to.

I'll be keeping my backups on Google drive and flash drives from now on. Lesson learned. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don't have to think about backing up my files Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There is nothing I dislike as the program is automatic and I never have to worry that my files are lost. I can retrieve them at any time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The interface is easy to use and user friendly Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It would be nice to have a method to backup system state files Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

That it was backing up all the time, which I appreciated, always knowing that my data was protected. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

That it doesn't back up the programs, only the files..... Which is of course the most important, however now that I have a Mac, I just use Time Machine and it backs up everything. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Set it to run and back-up once or twice a day, select files / directories you want to back-up, and it does it all for you.

Super simple to restore files too, e.g. after over-writing Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

running out of space, but then I either buy more space, or remove old directories no longer needing backup Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing positive from this experience, unable to provide data restoration from the cloud backups. Software failed to update without admin login. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
