Carbonite makes it really easy to restore your files when you need them. Whether you need a single file or all your files, the Carbonite restore manager will guide you through the process.

If it is just one file that accidentally got deleted or your computer crashes, is stolen, or just dies, you can log into your account from your new computer, click “Restore” and follow the step-by-step recovery process that will have your files back to you in no time.

Sure, if you buy the Carbonite Plus or Carbonite Prime, you can include ONE external hard drive in your online backup. Carbonite will scan your external hard drive for files that are not already backed up online and will add those files to your backup.

Simply put, a mirror Image backup adds an extra layer of protection by creating a copy or “mirror image” of your computer by backing it up to an external hard drive that you provide. Your Mirror Image backup includes your entire computer. (Not just the files and folders, but also your operating system and software programs, such as Microsoft Word). If your computer crashes and you need to get up and running again quickly, you can use your Mirror Image backup to restore your entire computer…  operating system and all to the way it was before the crash. We told you it was easy!
