A while back I read an article by Fred Wilson when he mentioned Carbonite. They rolled out their backup service.

I signed up for the 14 day trial. That was 11 days ago. They are asking me to sign up now. Only issue I have is that it has taken 11 days to backup 29% of the 44 gigs I want to back up.

According to my trust download calculater that is about right. But I’ll be darn if I am going to pay them before I know if it works. Given the amount of data I want to backup they might not want me as a customer anyway.

Stay tuned for the outcome.
