Carbonite Safe

Carbonite Safe is a veteran in the consumer and small business cloud backup market, known for its reliable, automatic, and straightforward protection. It operates on a continuous backup model, quietly securing files in the background. Carbonite differentiates itself with strong support for backing up external hard drives and network-attached storage (NAS) on higher-tier plans, and it offers a unique video backup feature that prioritizes preserving home videos. Its small business plans add server backup, mirror image, and centralized management.

Ideal for users who prefer a trusted brand with a long history and want a balance of simplicity and features like external drive support. Compared to Backblaze, Carbonite's interface is more guided, and its plans are more feature-tiered, but its upload performance has historically been slower, and its pricing can be less straightforward.
