Entrepreneur Magazine calls Carbonite an "essential" for any new business

Posted by Joe on June 10th, 2009

Entrepreneur Magazine released a list of ten top tech essentials for new businesses today. We weren't surprised at all to see that Entrepreneur had selected Carbonite, a five star provider and editor's choice in our comparison of online backup services, as the best online backup service for new businesses. Here is what the folks at Entrepreneur had to say:

We’re all for saving money on technology, but don’t skimp too much when it comes to data backup. External hard drives that connect to your computer or network are a good start. But off-site backup is even better for protection against natural disasters, damage or theft. For inexpensive, automatic online backup of a single system, look into a $50-per-year service like Carbonite.

We agree wholeheartedly that Carbonite is both a great value and a good investment for both consumers and smaller businesses. It is important to note that NextAdvisor.com visitors receive a special 15% discount on one, two or three year plans. This means that one year Carbonite plan is just $46.71 per year versus the $50 per year that Entrepreneur referenced above.
