Carbonite is effective and easy to use Carbonite is effective and easy to use. I do have an error that keeps showing up that I can't get to clear and their technical help hasn't gotten back to me. Fortunately, it isn't an error of not backing files up, but is actually not deleting old files it says it will! Still, it is annoying. Otherwise, I feel confident that all my pictures and important files are backed-up.

Carbonite has requested a review Carbonite has requested a review with reminders many times. Recently they apologized for bugging me. That's the first time a company has done that and it made me feel a little ashamed in being neglectful. It also reminded me that feedback is really important to you. In terms of feedback I'm quite satisfied. I assume everything is going along fine because I get periodic reminders of the back ups and I just truck on along.

Best support ever. I just installed Carbonite 2.8.4 on my new Mac Studio, and had an installation problem as a result of some detritus migrated over from an older Mac. I called Carbonite support, was connected to "James", and had the best support experience I've ever had with an App provider in my 16 years as a Mac user. In 15 minutes, James not only fixed my Carbonite installation and got the backup going, but reviewed my situation and provided suggestions for all the backup preferences. He knew his way around a Mac better than anybody I've ever worked with.

Webroot SecureAnywhere? What is that all about? Webroot SecureAnywhere? I just want my computer backed up. There is no feedback that I can find to apprise me of backup status. Too difficult to use due to NO INCONTEXT FEEDBACK.

Overall pleased with the restoration process I was very pleased with how easy it was to be able to transfer my files over to my new computer, and it only took a day or two to complete the process. The only reason I am not giving this review five stars is that I found that files and photos that were saved inside multiple folders (a folder inside another folder) were not restored. Luckily my old computer was still active, or else those items would have been completely lost.
