Overall Satisfaction with Carbonite Server Backup
carbonite is being used across the whole organization, it is backing up servers and databases. It solved our problem we had a few years ago when it was time to buy a new tape backup system and all the components needed to run the system. We find it easier and cheaper to have switched to carbonite. It also addresses our concerns on security and offsite access if something ever went wrong.
- Document backup is the easiest and quickest.
- These last couple of updates Carbonite released hyper-V backup capabilities which helped us out greatly.
- Carbonite also lets one do independent backup of the servers if for some reason we also want specific programs backuped and still use the hyper v backup.
- Great tech support, I reach out and they have worked daily with me till my problem was resolved.
- I would like to see Carbonite run without being tied to Java updates.
- Its been a while since I have done a restore but it was some what difficult and hairy finding certain particular files; not folders, they were easy.
- The dashboard coloring for checking backup storage on the web is very difficult to read. I would prefer a bold black print.
- Saved us the money of having to buy a new tape backup system and the server that it would have run on.
- It also helps that when an upgrade comes out we just install it - no worry of tapes not working or running out of room on a tape that night and having to fix it the next day.
- These two alone saved us lots of money, man hours, and possible down time.

We need a license for each server to backup to tape and then had to run it all at once here its not tied to key but to the amount of space I use ... more space, more money etc. I also don't have to worry about a license not registering, and I can run the backups all at once or layer them since they run independently.
