Best Prices Today: Carbonite Safe Online Backup
Carbonite Safe remains one of our favorite online backup solutions, thanks to unlimited storage for your backups and integration into Windows Explorer. However, we were disappointed to find the latter somewhat degraded in Windows 11.
Note that if you hop on Carbonite by March 31, 2024, it’s available at an incredible 75% off, though we don’t know if it will carry over into the renewal cycle.
Author’s note: There is some inconsistency in the way OpenText/Carbonite refer to this program, mostly calling it Carbonite Safe, but also Carbonite Backup, and Carbonite Safe Backup.
What are Carbonite Safe’s features?
Carbonite Safe offers unlimited data backup with file versioning, i.e., it retains older versions of files. Versioning is what makes Carbonite a backup rather than a sync service. All data is encrypted and you may opt to keep the encryption key in your own possession or let Carbonite host it.
