I'm planning to buy Carbonite. Will it for sure back up ALL my music from my Itunes library. My music is copied from CD's and downloaded from the Internet. It is not purchased from the Itunes store.

It does not back up mp3 files either. I am manually backing them up now. It did not back up any of my videos either.

If you are using Sonos, forget about Carbonite! It does nothing to back up your play-lists. Get a NAS.

A tip for those who say carbonite didn't backup your mp3s or any other file type.
Just right click on a file (for example an mp3 song), select properties, go to the carbonite tab and check the box next to "back up files of this type (within folders selected for backup)
This way all the files with the same extension as the file you just selected will be automatically backed up from now on.
You have to do this once for each file extension
