Well, I decided to give Carbonite a try as consumer feature. I actually has been using it for sometime now but that on Carbonite Pro for business computers. But I don’t have that much files to backup there. At home I have a lot of photos and videos. It would be interesting to see how long it will take to backup them all.
The registration and installation are very quick process, I only took me less then 5 mins.
Then the carbonite software took another 15 mins to find all the files that need to be backup. 183,581 files, 285 GB, that exclude videos. I will add videos files later. Let see how long it will take to backup them all. I started the Carbonite at 3:04PM PST today. Clock is clicking …
UPDATE: Now that I thought about it, it required 285 GB upload traffic. I wander if Comcast, my internet provider, will happy about this.
UPDATE: 10/6/2011 9:13PM PST – It now backed up: 12,596 files, 1.1 GB out of 162,227 files 284 GB
