I heart Carbonite

Carbonite Icon

In the movie Star Wars – The Empire Strikes Back, Carbonite was the compound Darth Vader used to freeze Han Solo. In the world of Web 2.0, Carbonite is an online backup system for PC computers. Basically, with the purchase of a one year subscription for $50 (or only $10 with this great rebate at Amazon.com), you can securely encrypt and backup as much of your hard drive as you would like. The beauty of an online backup is that, even if your house burns down, you will still have your critical documents, photos, life’s work, etc. After creating hundreds (if not thousands) of educational documents over the years, it’s about time that I secured them.  The Carbonite installation process is very simple, and the user interface is very well designed.  Now my encrypted documents are safely backed up “off site” waiting to be restored if needed.
