Visit Carbonite

Carbonite is a cloud backup service for personal computers and small businesses, designed to restore files after accidental deletion, hardware failure, or malware infection. It is part of the OpenText Cybersecurity portfolio, acquired in December 2019, and covers data on computers, servers, and in the cloud.

The service provides automatic, encrypted cloud backup with unlimited storage and one-click file restoration. Files are accessible from a web browser or companion apps for Android and iOS, with 256-bit encryption in transit and at rest. Plans are offered as Basic, Plus, and Prime editions, covering one computer or one computer plus an external hard drive. Higher tiers add Webroot Computer Antivirus, automatic video backup, and courier delivery of recovered files. Business-oriented options include server backup, managed backup policies, and support for compliance frameworks such as HIPAA, FERPA, and GLBA. Plans are billed annually, with a 30-day money-back guarantee.
