Because your life is on your computer

Have you considered how much of your life is on your computer? Photos, emails, music, financial records, documents, and so much more. How would you feel if you woke up tomorrow and it had all disappeared?

Every year 43% of computer users lose irreplaceable files. 1 in 8 of hard drives crash. 50,000 laptops are stolen each year in Australia, that is one every 10 minutes.

You need to take proper precautions.

How it Works

How Carbonite protects you

Your computer is filled with irreplaceable files: MS Office documents, emails, photos, music, business contacts and financials (including MYOB and Quicken files). Carbonite automatically and securely backs up all of the irreplaceable contents of your computer to an external offsite location for only $71.99 per year (less than $6 per month) no matter how much stuff you need to back up.

A small program on your computer

Carbonite installs a small software program on your computer that works quietly in the background looking for new and changed files to back up. It looks and feels like part of your computer, and is integrated with your desktop, so there’s nothing new to learn.

Completely secure

Carbonite takes data privacy and security very seriously. Each of your files is encrypted twice before being backed up securely offsite. We actually use the same encryption techniques that banks use. Your files remain encrypted at our secure data centres, so only you can see and access them.

Everything is automatic

When your computer is not being used, Carbonite starts to automatically back up your new and changed files. You don’t have to do anything as it does it all for you! When you’re busy using your computer, Carbonite goes to sleep so it will never slow down the performance of your computer or your internet connection.

What gets backed up

Carbonite has been designed to backup all the files in your internal hard drive, this includes your emails, Microsoft files, pictures, music and videos/movies. You can find out more about which files it will back up here. As long as these files remain on your hard drive, it will continue to back them up for you.

Later this year (2009), we will be introducing a small business version of Carbonite that will enable backing up of network and external hard drives. Visit our website in a few months to find out more about this new service.

Get your files back with a few clicks

When disaster strikes, big or small, restoring your files with Carbonite is quick and easy. If you accidentally delete or otherwise lose some of your files, all it takes is a few clicks from your desktop to get them back. If your computer is damaged, stolen or “just dies” and you lose all your files, you can easily begin working again by using Carbonite to restore them all to a new computer.

Access your files from anywhere

You can now access the files backed up on your computer by Carbonite from anywhere in the world. Carbonite Remote File Access, gives you access to your files when you are travelling, away on holiday or at school or work. And all you need is an internet connection. Simply login to your account and download the file(s). Now also available via your iPhone.
