I had to uninstall Carbonite, so I was not connected for a day. Will this cause an issue with Carbonite?

August 18th, 2010 - Posted by Kent

Q:I had to uninstall Carbonite, so I was not connected for a day. Will this cause an issue with Carbonite when I reinstall?

A: It shouldn't make any difference to Carbonite. When you reinstall, you will likely need to enter your username and password again. Other than that, it will be almost as if you just had your computer off for a  day (since your computer does not backup while it's off or asleep). When you reconnect, Carbonite should just pick up where you left off.
