Carbonite Recover is a reliable backup solution that helps businesses prevent data loss caused by hardware or software failures. Users have reported successful recovery of lost files due to employee error or accidental deletion, providing peace of mind for important data. In addition, the product has been utilized for disaster recovery in case of server failure, allowing for easy data recovery when needed the most.

Customers have also been able to backup files, documents, and folders with limited restore options, ensuring their critical data is always safe and secure. However, some users have experienced long recovery times for even small amounts of data, leading to frustration and downtime. Additionally, the restore process can be time-consuming as users have to manually search for documents that may end up in different files after the restore process. Finally, users have reported that regular maintenance during business hours by the company can completely shut down the server, making it impossible to access files during that time. Despite these challenges, Carbonite Recover remains a popular solution among businesses seeking reliable data backup and protection.

Users have made several recommendations for Carbonite based on their experiences. Some users suggest looking elsewhere if speed of recovery is important. They have found that recovering files with Carbonite can be challenging, which may not be ideal for those who need quick access to their data.

They find it very easy to use and secure, making it suitable for those who care about the safety of their data. Another common recommendation is that Carbonite is a good product for a reasonable cost.

When customers need a simple backup solution for data we recommend Carbonite Recover. It is a quick and easy install and easy to pick the files you need [to be backed up] to the cloud. We use this on medium-sized and small-sized businesses. Can be used on servers and individual desktops.
  • Simple install
  • Simple setup
  • Easy recovery
  • Pricing for storage.
  • Sometimes errors [pop] up.
  • Ability to recover a lot of files faster.
I believe it works best for our small to medium size businesses customers. It quickly identifies if a file or folder is having backup issues. This user-friendly interface makes it easier to understand. Since there is no on-site IT staff it makes it easier for them to quickly check [their] backups.
  • Ability to backup
  • Ability to recover
  • Friendly interface
  • Makes customers feel their data is safe.
  • Reliability when files are recovered puts faith in company.
  • Saves end user downtime when files are recovered.
Unitrends is a more robust software meant for larger businesses. I chose to compare to Unitrends to point out why we target small to medium customers with Carbonite. Unitrends does full VM and file backups while carbonite backups up files. Unitrends is expensive and harder to set up. Carbonite is quick and easy.
