Software I Recommend

Carbonite Online Backup

Carbonite is the software I recommend to friends and family who need easy to use and reliable backup software for Windows only.

For Windows

Carbonite provides a 15-day trial but unlike Mozy does not have a free account or provide Mac Support. Carbonite’s greatest strength, and why I frequently recommend it, is it’s ease of use. The user interface is simple and straight-forward. Carbonite is what I recommend to non-technical friends and family. The lack of settings and features is a plus when you don’t want to worry about things going wrong. If all a person does with a computer is surf, email, listen to music and save the family photos then Carbonite is a a good choice.
