Carbonite was founded on the idea that it was high time to consistently back up our computers. Not so easy! Neither spending the day burning CDs or remembering to plug in an external drive seemed too appealing. Online backup was the way to go because it’s professionally managed, secure, and always available.

But existing online backup services were really complicated and very expensive. Why couldn’t someone offer backup that was simple and affordable? Something without technical jargon, ongoing user involvement, and capacity limits? Couldn’t a backup service just run in the background, automatically protecting changes and new files on your computer?

That idea became Carbonite.
