Carbonite Questions

I got a few great questions about Carbonite, the automatic behind-the-scenes backup subscription service I told you about yesterday.

Question 1: If you’ve never used it to restore lost files, how do you know it really works when you need it?

I learned about Carbonite at Scrap Girls, my favorite digital graphic/scrapbooking site. CEO Ro Paxman wrote about it and recommended it. That was enough for me, because Ro is very technically savvy.

All you need do is look at the website to know that. Prior to launching Scrap Girls, Ro worked at Novell where she pioneered for-sale electronic delivery software and participated in the launch of many of Novell’s software products.

Plus, if you read the free Scrap Girls newsletter, you will find story after story about hard drive crashes and data loss. The members who had Carbonite, breathed a sigh of relief, clicked on the Carbonite icon and got their data back in very short order.

The members who didn’t have it, shed a few tears and then subscribed to Carbonite.

Come back Monday for Carbonite Question 2: How does Carbonite work?

Tomorrow is Artsy Bloggers Roundup day!
