Carbonite Online Backup Integrated with Microsoft Money 2007;
Microsoft Money 2007 to Include One Year of Free Online Backup
from Carbonite
BOSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- July 20, 2006 -- Carbonite, Inc.,
announces that it has signed an agreement with Microsoft to
include a year of free online backup with Microsoft Money 2007.
Under the terms of the agreement, Microsoft Money 2007 Premium
and Microsoft Money 2007 Home & Business will ship with a free
one year subscription to Carbonite MS Money Backup that automatically
backs up all Microsoft Money files on the user's PC. There is
no limit on the size of the Money files that are backed up.
At the end of the year, users can renew their backup subscription
for $14.95 per year. Users may also upgrade to the full Carbonite
Online PC Backup service for $49.95 per year. This service protects
all user data, including photos, music, documents, email, etc.,
and capacity is unlimited.
Carbonite MS Money Backup installs with just an email address
and password. Money files are encrypted with a 1024-bit key
before they leave the user's PC and are transmitted across a
secure SSL link to Carbonite's data centers where they are stored
on RAID6 servers.
David Friend, CEO of Carbonite, said, "We're very pleased that
Microsoft has chosen the Carbonite backup service. Your Money
files are among the most important data on your PC. Personally,
I feel a lot better knowing that mine are protected from disk
crashes, equipment theft, viruses, fires, and other kinds of
disasters. And it's free for a whole year."
"We are excited to offer our customers a free online backup
option," said Anne Quaranta, senior product manager for Microsoft
Money. "With unlimited storage capacity and simple setup, we
believe the Carbonite service will be a great complement to
Microsoft Money 2007."
About Carbonite
Carbonite was founded in 2005 and is the number one consumer
backup company. Although data loss is a very common problem,
few people backup their PCs. Burning CDs is tedious and error-prone.
Outboard hard drives are expensive, complicated, and vulnerable
to theft, fire, and viruses. Business-oriented online backup
services are too complex and expensive for consumers. Carbonite
is dedicated to simple, inexpensive, automatic PC backup over
the Internet.
At Carbonite, we believe PC users shouldn't have to think about
backup. Our mission is to provide an inexpensive, reliable and
truly easy-to-use solution for the mainstream PC user; one that
is simple, safe and always on(TM).
