Carbonite for macs for mac#

I haven't had to install Windows on a Mac in a while but recently ran into all kinds of issues attempting to simply install Windows 7 64-bit on a 2014 MacBook Air. TL DR: Follow the instructions exactly HERE AND use a USB 2 Flash drive I hope this post finds you well! It will save you a lot of frustration. I can only hope Carbonite fixes this soon so that I can start recommending their product to Mac users.

There several other cloud backup solutions for Mac that have at least some sort of file versioning or retention period for overwritten data (Crashplan and Mozy come to mind). For this reason, I cannot recommend backup for Macs at the moment. In my opinion, file versioning is NOT a feature of a backup solution, it is a requirement. 'Sorry about that, but we do not support that feature on Macs.' is what support told me over the phone. 'Unfortunately, Carbonite for Mac does not currently support versioning, though it may be supported in a future release.' This means that if your files ever became corrupt, or accidentally overwritten, Carbonite will automatically backup these corrupt and/or overwritten files and DELETE the older, good, version of your file immediately. There is NO file versioning AT ALL for Macs using Carbonite. Unfortunately, I have discovered a flaw with how they backup Macs.

It have seen it save the day more than once on both Windows and Mac systems.

automatic cloud backup solution is pretty great.
