Carbonite users can

BOSTON — March
12, 2009 —
Carbonite.com, Inc., the
leading provider of
online backup
services for
consumers and small
businesses, today
announces the
addition of remote
file access to its
award-winning online
backup service.
Beginning March 16,
all customers using
Carbonite Online
Backup can access
their files via the
Internet from any
computer with
Internet access and
a browser.
The remote access
feature adds a layer
of convenience to
the Carbonite Online
Backup service, as
subscribers will be
able to access their
backed up data —
anytime, anywhere.
Users simply log on
to carbonite.com and
go to the remote
access tab on the
navigation bar,
where they can
securely download
individual files —
no plugins or other
software are needed.
"Remote access is
a feature our users
have been eager for
us to include
because it gives
them the freedom to
access their
backed-up files even
when they're not at
home," said David
Friend, co-founder
and CEO of Carbonite.
"We continue to add
features that
directly address
what consumers want
and need. Remote
access is one of
several enhancements
we've made recently,
and we have more
exciting product
developments coming
in the near future."
Also beginning
March 16, Carbonite
Online Backup will
be available for the
new price of $54.95
per year. This
includes unlimited
backup plus remote
file access, file
versioning, backup
scheduling and
additional features
such as restore
search, which helps
users easily find
backed-up versions
of lost files for a
quicker restore.
Restore search is
part of Carbonite
version 3.7 and is
currently being
rolled out to all
Carbonite customers.
