Things I Can’t Live Without: Carbonite

Posted on

CarboniteIn the last 10 years, I have lost two hard drives, and neither one was fully backed up. It’s embarrassing, but it’s true.

In recent years, I would manually copy my hard drive off to an external hard drive on a regular basis. Until about six months ago, when my friend Karen told me about Carbonite.

No more wondering if my backup is working. Carbonite puts colored dots next to file names on my computer, letting me see at a glance which files are backed up, and which are not.  With a right mouse click, I can add any file to those being backed up.

Carbonite is $54.95 a year, and every time I invite a friend to join (and they sign up) I get three months of free service added to my account.

Now I have the relief of knowing that I don’t have to remember to backup a document every time I work on it.  Join me in a sound night’s sleep, knowing your computer is backed up every day.?
