Carbonite goes iPhone (and iPod Touch)

Man, this is what I've been waiting for! I have my iPhone with me wherever I go (I have to confess to being a little obsessed with it) and now I can view my backed up files — anywhere, anytime — using the new Carbonite app for the iPhone and iPod Touch.

I had my first great experience with it while waiting for my plane at LaGuardia Airport. I was supposed to give a talk at a conference later that day, so I pulled up my PowerPoint presentation on my iPhone (the original is on my office computer) and reviewed it. I then spent 20 productive minutes looking over a contract. While still waiting at the gate, I decided to browse my favorite pictures of me and my daughter high above the clouds on the top of Mt. Washington.

The Carbonite app gives me access to the backed up files from each of my computers, even if the computers are turned off. And I don't have to be logged into a Wi-Fi connection or lug my laptop with me. It displays my photos, documents, and other important files and allows me to share any of my backed up files with someone else via email, right from the app. It's fast and super-simple. I'm really proud of this Carbonite app and I hope you all will find it as useful as I do.

The best part? It's free for all Carbonite users. To learn more or download the app, go to www.Carbonite.com/iPhone.

Why is it only available in the US app store?

This is great news!

I have often wanted to access my files, but never configured remote access software on my computer, for many reasons. One of them is typically I do have my laptop with me, but its battery is gone, and I don't have a charger. The second is I don't need this every day, and even if I had a desktop, I wouldn't want it to burn electricity just waiting for me.

So having Carbonite on my iPhone will be the best solution!

In a previous blog you mention testing Carbonite to verify that it will restore. I did this and it did not restore all files because of error. What caused this?
