Have you ever been frozen in Carbonite? That might not be a bad thing, so long as Carbonite is the program you’ve installed to backup all your data to a virtual hard drive in the sky. Throw away the tape drives, man – it’s all about your Internet Backup options. Yes, Carbonite happens to be an up-and-coming application that lets you store an unlimited amount of data to another computer in the universe (in a set-it and forget-it fashion). Jason Dunn has been using it for a while, and his word is gold when it comes to software and Web services – so I trust Carbonite vicariously. Of course, I’m not recommending Carbonite for 100% of your backup needs – but it will make for a great backup of a backup (truly off-site). You can download a copy and try it yourself. It’s free for 15 days, but unlimited Internet storage for $5 a month!? Dude, you’d be insane not to use something like this to backup your data. And as a disclaimer, I get credit for download referrals (and you can sign up for their referral program, too).
