Description:	Carbonite’s backup solution works by placing colored dots on your files and folders. Different colors represent if the file has been backed up, will be backed up or will not be backed up. Once Carbonite is setup, it requires little ongoing work on behalf of the user. The Carbonite client is always looking for new data on your PC. When you add or modify files, Carbonite starts backing them up immediately. It backs up about 2GB per day over broadband. Backups automatically slow down while you're using your computer and speed up again when your computer is idle. Your data is encrypted using the same techniques that most banks and e-payment sites use and then stored on Carbonite’s secure servers. If you ever do run into a problem and need to restore your data, you can download your files at up to 15GB per day over broadband. Overall Carbonite offers a good backup solution that isn’t tedious, time consuming or too expensive.
