I know that your backup data is supposed to be scrambled so that it cannot be accessed by anyone. Technology being what it is, I wonder if Carbonite might be going through all of this data looking for information that would be of interest to their cause?

That is my thought on all of the ‘cloud’ options. The company writes the software that does the encryption and there is noway to know if there is a backdoor to the system.

I just purchase a Synology 2 disk NAS. It is running at RAID 1 and allows me to access my data from anywhere in world thorough my laptop or my Android phone using HTTPS. True if the house burns down I would lose the data on the disk, but all of the important stuff is on DVD backup anyway and kept in a fireproof safe in the basement.

My data is never going to be out in the clouds.
