Carbonite to launch "Personal Cloud" for Consumers

The Boston based cloud back-up company Carbonite is going to introduce a cloud based service for consumers and home based business. Carbonite's new HomePlus and HomePremier services provide such features as file mirroring, folder restoring, and full-system snapshots -- much like modern enterprise storage networks. Carbonite's MirrorImage now enables "bare-metal"-type snapshots of a computer's entire system to be taken every 24 hours and copied to a second hard drive or to one in the cloud; this includes all the data files. It only takes 3 to 4 clicks to get the PC back up and running. Annual pricing runs $59 (for Carbonite Home, the basic storage service), $99 for Home Plus and $149 for Home Premier.

Wow. This sounds like a great solution for the average home user who does not think about backing up there files. This seems like a great investment for any small home business to not have to worry about losing valuable data and not have to spend that much money to do so.
