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: Your comparison chart and program details table for carbonite says "No file access except for full system recovery", while your review says "Carbonite now offers Remote File Access, so you can access any single file from any computer that has web access."
A: It looks like you caught a little misprint in our online backup services comparison chart. Yes, at one time Carbonite only offered full-backups, but they now offer remote access to your files from any web browser. This makes it not only great for online backup, but also extremely useful for anyone who's ever needed to access a file remotely. With Carbonite, you're not only keeping your documents safe from hard drive crashes, but making sure your files are always available to you when you need them.
Carbonite gives you unlimited storage for $54.95 per year, and runs on Windows Vista, XP, and Mac OS X (10.4 or above).
