Carbonite: Backup your entire PC online

After Google’s plan for online storage was leaked and Box.net launches with a free 1GB online storage (the PRO account costs $99.99PHP 5,868INR 8,474EUR 95CNY 728/year), there’s this new company called Carbonite.

The good thing about thsi thing is you basically download a software which run on the background in your PC then uploads all your files whenever you’re connected to the internet. It also monitors your drive for any new files or updated files then swings back and upload the latest versions of these files.

They claim they can store any amount of your files for a flat monthly fee of $5PHP 293INR 424EUR 5CNY 36. Pretty cheap for unlimited online backup huh?

They got a 3-month free account so I signed up and checked it out. Upload speeds average at 5KB per second despite the fact that I’m connected to 1.5Mbps wifi here at Starbucks. If you feel that 5KBps is too high, you can set the software to lower the upload speeds too.

Carbonite… someone must be a Star Wars fan.

There’s a local online backup startup: Xackup.
