What Is Cloud Backup?
Cloud backup (or online backup) is the primary service offered by all Carbonite products. Cloud backup refers to the act of copying your user-created data files from your computer safely and securely to our interconnected datacenters (i.e. "the cloud") using your internet connection.
How to Tell What Is Backed Up
You can check the status and the contents of your backup through the Carbonite software or through your Carbonite account online.
Trial Subscription Expiration
Carbonite's free trial versions last for 15 days. When your trial expires, we keep your backed up data on our servers for 15 days, so you have time to decide on how to proceed with Carbonite.
Importing Your iTunes Music
You can import your iTunes data by downloading the backed up copy and moving it into the correct location. After you finish restoring and moving the files, you may have to assign songs that were not originally located within the iTunes Media folder.
Entering and Exiting Recover Mode (Mac 1x)
Recover Mode prevents changes from being made to your backup so you can perform a restore. If you transfer your Carbonite subscription to a new computer or replace the hard drive on your current computer, Carbonite will automatically start up in Recover Mode. Recover Mode can be enabled through the Carbonite Preference pane.
Restoring Between Mac and PC
Carbonite Safe users can transfer their subscription between PC and Mac computers.
Opening the Carbonite Interface
The Carbonite interface displays information about your backup, subscription and account. The Carbonite interface allows you to set a backup schedule, restore files, manage your Carbonite account, and instruct Carbonite to use less of your Internet bandwidth.
