I never bought the idea behind carbonite in the first place.

It was not worth the expense. A simple and inexpensive external hard drive (USB connected) set to automatically, periodically back-up my entire PC, was not only cheaper (in less than a year) but seemed more sane than sending all my PC contents across the Internet to begin with.

Agree. I figure if hackers can break into the DoD they can surely get into Carbonite, et al. Google recently admitted that their employees could look at your stuff in Dropbox.
