Carbonite for Mac is in beta

[Chris Blount]

The online backup system called "Carbonite" at http://www.carbonite.com is currently testing a mac version. I signed up for the beta test months ago and received an e-mail yesterday to download the software.

So far it works well. It basically only backs up the users folder. The initial backup takes a bit of time but after that each backup goes pretty quick.

No word yet on when the software will be in full release.

Thanks, Chris, I'll look into that.

For those who care, Carbonite has completed beta testing of their Mac software and it's now available to all. Beta testers get $10 off the first year which lowers it from $49 to $39.

Be sure to uninstall the beta software first.
