*📜 Plan description

Carbonite Safe Plus is an automatic cloud backup subscription for 1 computer plus 1 external hard drive, positioned as the best-value tier for users who want broader device coverage and added security features.
- Unlimited encrypted cloud backup storage for one Windows or Mac computer.
- Includes backup for 1 directly attached external hard drive in addition to the computer, expanding protection for large photo libraries and project archives.
- Works with Windows 7+ and macOS (OS X 10.10+) clients.
- Protects common file types including office documents (Word, Excel, PowerPoint), PDFs, and Adobe files, plus photos and music.
- Adds automatic backup of video files, reducing the need for manual selection of large media.
- Bundles Webroot computer antivirus as an included feature, positioning the plan for protection against malware and common online threats.
- 128-bit encryption is highlighted for data security during transfer and while stored.
- Provides file access and recovery through a web browser and companion apps, enabling preview, download, and sharing of backed up content from other devices.
- Malware recovery support is promoted: if ransomware or a crypto-virus infects files, contacting support within two weeks of infection can enable restoration of pre-infected versions.
- Courier delivery of recovered files is presented as available for an additional fee rather than included by default.
- Pricing shown on the plan cards includes a discounted first-year subscription of USD 78.99 (regularly USD 131.99 per year).

Carbonite Safe is positioned as always-on backup that runs quietly in the background so users do not need to remember manual uploads or periodic copying to external media.
Unlimited storage is promoted as eliminating overage charges and capacity warnings, with one flat subscription price designed to cover a full computer file set.
The service emphasizes simple restoration: the user can restore all files or only selected items with minimal steps, and can access backups from almost anywhere using an online account and mobile apps.
Security messaging highlights encryption during transmission and storage, reinforcing a privacy-first posture for personal documents and irreplaceable photos.
Operational messaging focuses on convenience: continuous backup reduces the risk window between backups, and automatic selection of common file categories helps reduce setup time.
A 15-day free trial is offered so users can test drive the backup client and recovery workflow before purchasing.
Multi-year billing options are presented as 1 year, 2 years (additional 5% off), and 3 years (additional 10% off), supporting longer-term cost optimization.
Refund terms are documented for renewals, allowing a full refund request within 30 days of purchase during a renewal window, after which stored data may be removed if the subscription ends.
Support channels include a helpdesk knowledge base plus assisted support through toll-free phone and international phone numbers, and an email case form. Carbonite Safe phone support hours are stated as Monday to Friday, 9:00am to 6:00pm Eastern Time, with weekends closed and holiday impacts possible.

📄 Editorial Review

Carbonite is a long-standing cloud backup and data protection provider focused on keeping endpoints, servers and SaaS workloads continuously backed up off-site. It began as a consumer backup service and today sits inside the OpenText Cybersecurity portfolio alongside other security and archiving brands, so it feels more like part of a broader data-protection stack than a small standalone tool.

For individuals and home offices, the key product is Carbonite Safe. A lightweight client runs on Windows or macOS and performs automatic, continuous backups of selected files and folders to the cloud. Plans are structured around one or more computers, with higher tiers adding support for external drives, video backup, and enhanced retention. Storage behaves effectively "unlimited" for typical desktop usage, so users focus on deciding what to protect rather than micro-managing quotas. A web interface and simple restore options make it approachable even for non-technical users.

Small businesses step up to Carbonite Safe Backup Pro, which adds tiers aimed at covering multiple workstations plus light server workloads. Features like NAS backup and image-based backup start to appear here. Beyond that, there are dedicated product lines for endpoint backup across laptop fleets, server backup and disaster recovery, Microsoft 365 / cloud-to-cloud backup, and hybrid backup appliances that replicate between local storage and the cloud. That makes it possible for a small firm to grow from single-PC backup into a more complex, hybrid environment without leaving the Carbonite ecosystem.
The website is available in English, German, French, Italian or Dutch. Part of OpenText is also hightail

Overall, the platform leans strongly toward set-and-forget backup: policies, retention and centralized management are front and center, while low-level tuning is de-emphasized. That suits users whose main goal is to reduce risk and meet compliance or retention needs without turning backup into its own full-time job.
