green Carbonite icon in the task bar on a PC or the menu bar on a Mac. This launches the user interface (UI), showing what’s being backed up and the status of backups. Carbonite Safe also allows users to log in to their accounts from a web browser. From either the UI or the web browser, users can self-restore when they need to recover a file or folder.
Carbonite Endpoint cloud backup is also easy to install, but it includes far more options when it comes to configuring the solution. Administrators can create separate policies for backing up different file types for different departments or users. They can also customize backup scheduling and retention to minimize the potential for data loss and comply with document retention policies. Backups can be scheduled at intervals as low as 1 minute, which means businesses should never lose more than a minute’s worth of data.
Carbonite Endpoint includes powerful and secure deduplication technology that eliminates duplicate copies of data without decrypting the data in the process. Administrators can perform file recovery for users, and users have the option to self-restore. There’s also an admin restore feature that simplifies the process of migrating users from one device to another and restoring files after a ransomware infection. This solution also leverages advanced 256-bit encryption. Customers may choose to supply their own key.
Since SMBs often have employees traveling for business purposes, Carbonite Endpoint also includes geo-tracking for locating company-owned devices and remote wipe for deleting the contents of the hard drive if the device is lost or stolen.
Something for Everyone
Different businesses have very different needs–and budgets–when it comes to protecting their important files and digital assets. While data protection is no less important for individual users and very small businesses, there are some advanced features they can do without and would rather not pay for. These very same features, on the other hand, are essential for other segments of the market.
Carbonite Safe includes all the functionality and ease of use that individuals and VSBs are looking for, without the advanced security features they don’t need. For small and midsize businesses, and organizations in regulated industries, Carbonite Endpoint offers advanced security and administration to minimize the risks of data loss while ensuring efficiency and security at every step.
