Automatically Backup Your Computer With Carbonite

I'm always surprised when I hear entrepreneurs say that their computer crashed, and they lost everything. Put simple, you have to back up your computer regularly. If not, you could lose everything - and there may not be anything you can do about it.

I personally use a service called Carbonite that automatically backs up your files and stores them online. If you're like me and hate manually backing up to a CD, flash drive, or hard drive - this service is perfect.

What I like best is that you can access your files remotely, and their cost is super low. For only $54.95 per year, you can back up your entire computer - no matter how much stuff you have. If you create a new file or edit an existing file, it too will automatically get backed up.

Plus, they have a free iPhone app that allows you to see, open, and share your files right from your cell phone.

Even more, it's super simple to install. You don't have to be a network administrator, and you don't need technical skills. It's very easy!

I usually don't endorse products like this, but honestly - I couldn't resist. I highly recommend you use it!

  1. Carbonite is good, but there are some flaws with them. For example Carbonite does not backup up video files be default. Video files need to be selected on a file by file basis. It also lacks support for backing up external hard drives. Restoring files can also only be done through the client or web. There is no option to order the files on DVD or HD. Just a few things to consider about Carbonite.
