[QUOTE="PapaST, post: 229961, member: 8330"] I have a client that is using Carbonite. The cost of cloud backups is getting more and more affordable. My suggestion to you, once ALL your data is backed up and it starts its incremental backups do some test runs. Try to restore files AND even try to restore your entire backup. My client has almost 2TB of data and doing a complete restore could take weeks. Honestly I'm not sure why, whether it's the bandwidth that they throttle or the speed in which Carbonite can restore your data. Of course none of this might be a concern for you. I trust Carbonite keeps everything safe and sound, I'm just concerned that if you ever needed to get it, it could take awhile. I've never heard of any complaints about consumer-side bandwidth being sucked down due to backups... that's good to know. [/QUOTE]
