The days of photo albums are long passed. In the modern age, you store your precious photos and memories on the computers. However, hard drive failure is much more common than house fires; 78% of hard drives will fail within six years. Do you have a reliable online file backup plan in place to keep those memories safe?

My laptop is home to 284GB of data.  This includes work and personal photos, documents, website files, etc.  I went through a huge loss of data soon after I started my first website in 2001, before external hard drives and online data backup services such as Carbonite were available.  It was a devastating loss that cost me money and many many hours of time and energy to resolve.   With Carbonite online file backup, I can rest assure that I won’t suffer a loss like that again, no matter if my computer crashes or if I accidentally delete files.

Carbonite offers easy and affordable computer backups that make it easy to keep your photographs, important documents, and other data safe — and they do it for as little as $5 per year. While there are other cloud backup programs available, none have the reliability and durability that Carbonite has.

OCTOBER IS CYBER SECURITY AWARENESS MONTH!

Carbonite makes your precious memories last a lifetime – easily and at a low cost, by protecting your irreplaceable files with automatic and secure cloud backup.

It was after these incidents that David and Jeff founded Carbonite as a safe and secure backup system.
