Set it When you’re ready to install, the Carbonite software will walk you through a step-by-step process that’s so simple, you won’t even need to restart your computer. Just select automatic setup during installation and Carbonite will take care of the rest.
Forget it Once you install Carbonite, you'll never have to remember to back up again. The automatic backup runs continually in the background, backing up new and changed files whenever your computer is connected to the Internet. Carbonite is designed to go to sleep when you’re using your computer so that it doesn’t slow you down. After your initial backup, you shouldn’t notice any impact on the performance of your computer or internet speed.
Relax Carbonite puts colored dots next to file names on your computer, letting you see at a glance which files are backed up, and which are not. On a Mac, the dots can be found inside the Carbonite Preference Pane.
