Best cloud backup: 10 online backup services tested
Summary
Once your data is online it can be accessed via a web interface, synced with computers or mobiles, and theres even a mechanism for sharing files via email, Facebook and Twitter. Admins can assign users to separate groups for custom billing, view details about their backup status and settings, and receive alerts on problems. Encryption is vital in keeping data safe once it has left your system, and Carbonite uses multiple technologies, including TLS during transfer and 128-bit Blowfish when stored. Youre able to monitor backup progress and settings, configure clients, enforce policies and more, although notably this is desktop-only – the console doesnt support mobile browsers. However, as with Google, Microsofts cloud service, Azure, may end up being a necessary option for business enterprise users who require a lot more storage for backup for their IT applications.
