Carbonite is a secure on-line backup service for consumers using PC’s and laptops. Carbonite automatically backs up your PC and laptops whenever you are connected to the internet, without slowing down your computer. Although data loss is a very common problem, few people backup their PCs: existing methods of backup are tedious, time consuming and often too expensive. Furthermore, most don’t provide protection against PC theft, damage and natural disasters. Carbonite believes PC users shouldn’t have to think about backup. Their mission is to provide an inexpensive, reliable and easy-to-use solution for the mainstream PC user.
