How Does Carbonite Work

After you install Carbonite, then Carbonite scans your hard drive looking for files to back up. Carbonite automatically backs up all file types except executable files, operating system files, temporary internet files and video files. However, any of the excluded file types can be manually added to the backup by right-clicking on the file and selecting “Back this up” from the Carbonite menu. Upon setup, Carbonite offers a wide array of options for customizing your backup, but most users stick with the default settings. Try Carbonite FREE today.

With the default settings, dots are placed on files and folders show their backup status in a glance. A green dot on a file or folder means it is selected for backup and is up to date. A yellow dot means that the file or folder is selected for backup but awaiting backup due to modification since the last backup. A green dot with a hole in the center (a “green donut”) on a folder means that the folder’s backup is up to date, but there are some files in the folder which are not selected for backup. If a file or folder has no dot, it means it is not selected for backup. Try Carbonite FREE today.

Backup

Carbonite is designed to automatically back up most files in the Documents and Settings folder, which includes “My Documents” and “Desktop”. Some users choose to manually select files for backup, or decide to back up files that are stored in different locations. Any file or folder can be added to the backup by simply right-clicking on the file or folder and selecting “Back this up” from the Carbonite menu. Once files and folders are selected for backup, they will be continually backed up silently in the background so that your backup is always up to date. Try Carbonite FREE today.
