BOSTON, Sept. 14, 2010 — Carbonite ®,
a leading provider of online backup,
today announced the release of Carbonite
4.0 for Windows. With the release of
4.0, Carbonite has further simplified
what is widely considered to be the
easiest way to back up and restore
irreplaceable files.
A key enhancement within Carbonite
4.0 is a new Restore Manager
that guides users through each step of
the restore process, whether they need
to retrieve a single file or restore all
of their data. Other notable restore
features include:
- A new Restore Search
feature that enables users to search
for and build a complete list of
files to restore. Users can search
their backups based on name, date or
file type.
- Carbonite 4.0 also provides the
ability to choose which files to
restore first through the new
Priority File Restore
feature.
- Once a restore is complete, the
detailed Restore Summary
Report identifies exactly
how many files were restored, any
files that were not restored and any
files that were relocated.
- If users are restoring to a new
operating system, the
Migration Wizard will
ensure all restored data ends up in
the proper file structure for the
target OS.
- Versioning
enables users to restore previous
versions of any backed up file (Carbonite
keeps older versions of files for up
to three months).
“Carbonite has always been about
ease-of-use and our product team was
charged with further-simplifying the
restore process in Carbonite 4.0,” said
David Friend, founder and CEO of
Carbonite. “We focused on restore
because it’s the most important part of
any online backup service. Too often in
our industry, the focus falls on the
initial backup process and features, but
restore is where an online backup
product has to deliver on its promise.
Carbonite 4.0’s Restore Manager sets a
new standard for getting files back.”
Additional updates in Carbonite 4.0
include:
- A Redesigned InfoCenter,
which clearly communicates backup
and restore status, scheduling
options and customer service
information.
- A new SetUp
Configuration completely
automates standard setup while
retaining custom options for
advanced users.
- Additional integration with
Remote File Access
from any computer or via mobile
applications for iPhone ®, iPod
Touch ® and BlackBerry ® smartphones.
Carbonite launched its online backup
service in 2006 and has raised more than
$76 million in several rounds of venture
financing. The company has received
numerous accolades in 2010 including a
No. 9 overall and No. 1 in IT Services
Inc. 500 ranking and the Tech Awards
Circle Gold Award for consumer/small
office, home office (SOHO) service
category. Additionally, Carbonite was
selected as a finalist in the Red
Herring 100 North America list, and CEO
David Friend was named as the Ernst &
Young Entrepreneur of the Year winner
for New England in the Consumer and
Small Business Emerging Technology
category.
