It should also be noted that, whilst we can make use of the “easy” set-up mode, a mode which will automatically allow Carbonite to find all important files and start the backup immediately after install (with no user input required), we also have the option to make use of an advanced set-up mode as well:

The installer itself was a very quick download at just under 17MB in size in my case and once running I had the software installed, ready to use and scanning my system for files to backup in just a couple of clicks!

It is important to sign-up before hand (on the free trial or otherwise) as the installer which is downloaded at the end of this process is specially configured with the details of the Carbonite account it is downloaded from (this helps make the install as quick and simple as possible as no login details are needed thereafter). Installing Carbonite Safe begins at the Carbonite website where new users can sign up for a 15 day free trial.

If being able to incorporate an external hard drive into your backup as well as have any video files automatically selected and included in the backup, then the Plus or Prime plans should be considered.

The other major feature only available in the Prime plan is the use of the courier restore service (whereby large file restores can optionally be sent via the postal system on a USB mass storage device).įor the majority of personal / home users, thanks to its unlimited coud storage and general ease of configuration and ease of use, the Basic plan should be the optimal choice.

Prime – At $8.99 per month / per device this is the top Carbonite Safe backup plan for the personal / home user and contains everything in the Plus plan, albeit without the need to pay the additional $2 / month fee for use of the Webroot anti-virus.

Other features include the ability to have any video files automatically selected and backed-up (must be done manually in Basic) as well as the option to make use of Webroot anti-virus for an additional $2 / month.

Plus – Featuring everything in the Carbonite Safe Basic plan, the Plus plan also allows the inclusion of an external hard drive into the backup.

Basic – The Carbonite Safe Basic plan is the entry level service which is priced at just $6 per device / per month and provides automatic (real-time) file backup, unlimited cloud storage, remote file restores and up to 12 previous historic versions of any backed-up files.

As of time of writing these three versions are: There are currently three different version of Carbonite Safe, each of which providing unlimited cloud storage alongside increasingly more backup and security features aimed at personal and home based users. Later on in this section I will then look at the options available for restoring and finally look at some of the other features of the software including the historic file version recovery.

In this section of this review I will be looking at Carbonite Safe in more detail and seeing how it performs as a cloud based backup solution, this means starting off with the sign-up and installation process and then moving on to the backing-up of a Windows PC to the cloud. Overall, Carbonite Safe checks a lot of boxes and appears to be a very easy to use, cost effective and reliable service, let’s go and see how it performs in my tests! Other notable features include the functional web console which, amongst other things, allows any devices connected to the account to be managed and any backed-up data easily recovered (without the need of the desktop application).įurthermore, all Carbonite plans offer unlimited storage (with a few restrictions) and by starting at just $6/month for a single PC or Mac, Carbonite is priced very competitively with other, similar cloud backup offerings. In fact, it must be said that the Carbonite sign-up process is very impressive and by delivering an installer as a part of the sign-up process which will automatically link the Carbonite app to your new Carbonite account, it helps makes sure that the install is as quick and easy as possible.

Carbonite Safe is a quick and easy to use cloud backup solution, ideal for anyone wanting to get their PC or Mac device backed-up without any fuss or the need to adjust numerous settings beforehand.
