The new version 5 of Carbonite will give home users some additional features. Carbonite will still offer the basic Home storage plan but it now costs $59 dollars per year instead of $55. For that price you get unlimited storage but no local backup--and by default, it will not automatically select video files and some other files nested within a folder. New in this version is the $99 dollar HomePlus and the $149 dollar HomePremium. In Home Plus you get the ability to backup external hard drives attached to your PC, as well as create an image of your system to a local hard drive. HomePremium gives you that plus what Carbonite calls there Courier service. With this additional feature Carbonite will overnight a physical copy of your data to you for quick restore. This way if you can not get onto the internet you can still get your computer back up and running.
Carbonite really seems set on giving home users no excuse to not back up files. For $59 dollars to you get a nice service that with a little work by the users keep your files safe. If you want to pay a little more a year you get some new cool features that really make it easy for you to back up and restore you home computer.
