Carbonite online backup uses a mix of encryption techniques, liken to those used by financial institutions such as banks, to protect their information. Before your data leaves your computer, files are encrypted twice and only then do they depart from your computer and once they reach the server they stay encrypted on their servers, making it virtually unattainable for anyone to gain access your files without your private password. The option is available for a User to supply their own encryption key.

Carbonite backs up all of the files in your Documents and Settings folder (called Users in Windows Vista), including documents, photos, email and data files from applications, such as tax documents, accounting documents, etc. Once a subscription is acquired, music is also added to the list. Programs, system files, temporary files, videos, or individual files greater than 4GB are not included in the default backup. Addition of any of these files to your Carbonite Online Backup can be accomplished manually.
