Do you backup your data to Carbonite.com?

Post by LPaulCook »

Just curious, Do you back up your scan data to Carbonite.com? I do. Have for many years now. The fee for up to 3 computers is very tiny and the data size is unlimited.

They encrypt the data twice, once before it is uploaded on my end then again at their end.

Data is stored on their servers in several secrete places many miles apart too.

I have the added service of overnight HD of my data if I need it. I have needed that service twice for my small office PC but not yet for and scan data.

So, do you use Carbonite backup service? If no, please tell why not.

No, I do not sell Carbonite service, I just like them a lot.

Thanks
Paul

I recently posted a question about the use of Carbonite and Backblaze receiving no answers.
I have neither but they both look wery useful. For a laser scanner user “unlimited” sounds too good..
Thanks for your Carbonite review.

I tried Carbonite, but they didn't support backup of networked drives (NAS), so had to pass.

Now I just backup to Google Drive directly from QNAP NAS.
