Save Time and Protect Your Business with Cloud Data Backup
In surveys of small business owners, Carbonite found that 81 percent of small business owners feel their data is their most valuable asset.* However, 31 percent of small business owners think that their existing office backup method is a hassle that takes time away from their business.** With Carbonite's easy to use online backup software, small business owners can simplify their backup strategy and better protect their data offsite, while still tending to other needs.

As small business owners often oversee multiple areas of their company, online backup software automatically saves important business files to the cloud as they are created or updated without requiring time away from other tasks.

Get Anytime, Anywhere Access to Your Business Data
For small business owners who find themselves traveling to and from meetings or frequently out of the office, the need to access files while on the go becomes more and more valuable. Once files are backed up to the Carbonite cloud, they are also remotely accessible from nearly any internet-connected device, including computers, tablets and smartphones. This remote file access means that presentations and spreadsheets are at your fingertips whether you are sitting at your work desktop or meeting a colleague at a restaurant downtown.
