Can we buy one subscription of Carbonite to back up both our computers?
April 9th, 2009 - Posted by Joe
The following post in our Reader Question series is an actual user submitted question. To maintain the integrity of the original question, we do not edit or change reader questions in any way.
Q: Both my wife and I are retired, use different computers for our home uses and from the same site. We also share emails accounts. Question. Can we buy one subscription [of Carbonite] to back up both our computers?
A: Carbonite is priced on a per computer basis. That means that each computer that needs to be backed up will need a separate subscription. If you have two computers that you would like to backup then you will need two Carbonite subscriptions. We would still advise purchasing two subscriptions of Carbonite even if you share the same email account because there are likely other important files on each of your computers that should be backed up.
We believe that Carbonite is an excellent value at just $54.95 per year per user. That works out to just about $9.20 per month for two users which is likely significantly less then you would spend in time and money on replacing lost files, music and videos in the case of a hard drive failure.

What if I buy a new computer? Can I transfer my carbonite "subscription" to my new computer?

Would you be interested in reviewing our new computer backup technology? Our company is iConfidential and it's very different than Carbonite. iConfidential is more of a life enhancement product. Simply get a free 14 day trial on our website, http://www.iconfidential.com. You can also watch a video demo there. We'd appreciate your expert feedback. Thank you!

This is quite disappointing. Imagine my existing backed up machine "retiring" and I need to get access to my files from another one?
Or what if I am in progress of retiring my existing and will move to another?
My requirement is that data is available online no matter what machine I am using at any given time.
There are a lot of "what if" situations which unfortunately do not get addressed by Carbonite.
Sorry, not recommending to use it!

Maybe in the prospective it'll do modify surpass in those areas, but for now it's a terrific way to organize and hear to your euphony and videos, and is without compeer in that greeting. The iPod's strengths are its web reading and apps. If those vocalize more compelling, perhaps it is your unsurpassed prime.
