How Carbonite Safe works

Install
Once you download the installation file, Carbonite Safe software identifies the files and folders you most likely want to protect. You can choose them on your own too, of course.

Back up
Once the software is running, it automatically – and securely – copies your files to one of our cloud storage datacenters. Even as you’re working on them, Carbonite Safe works quietly in the background to capture any changes you make.

Recover
If something ever goes wrong with the files on your computer – or if something terrible happens to the computer itself – Carbonite cloud backup ensures that all your files are safe and easily retrievable from the cloud.
