I'm about 2 weeks into the process of uploading all my files, including
my photo files and my separate RAW files to Carbonite (about 600 GB total).
Based on the time so far it appears it's going to take about 9 to 10
months to get them all uploaded! Then imagine if I had a problem it would take
most of a year to download them all to restore a computer so really it's
not a practical solution. I wouldn't even bother except I won a free one
year subscription in a photo contest so I thought I'd give it a whirl. MAYBE
I'll sometimes use the remote access to my files from any location but I
doubt I'll even do that since I normally carry my laptop and an external 1TB
HD when I travel.
I asked Carbonite if I could send them an external HD with my files to
avoid all this upload time and they said no. Likewise they won't send an HD
with my files should I ever need them.
So, why am I even bothering? Maybe I'll just stop and forget it.
I have 3 external HDs I use in rotation with one kept off site. That
system saved me recently when my internal HD crapped.
