Carbonite Introduces New Small Business Online Backup

Carbonite is the latest online backup service to launch a small business backup option. They currently have two plans:

Business

• Price: $229.00/year
• 250 GB backup storage space
• Additional storage is available for 50 GB for $46/year or 100 GB for $89/year

Business Premier

• Price: $599.00/year
• 500 GB backup storage space
• Supports Microsoft Windows Server backup
• Additional storage is available for 50 GB for $46/year or 100 GB for $89/year

If you don’t need to backup a Windows Server there is probably not much need for paying the extra money for the Business Premier account if all you need is extra space. Carbonite is only one of a few companies that support Windows Server. The only other ones I can think of off the top of my head are SafeCopy and MozyPro.

The complete news release is included below for your information.

Carbonite Introduces New Small Business Online Backup Solution With Low Flat Rate Pricing
Carbonite Business offers SMBs a better way to back up

BOSTON,¬†June 15, 2011 /PRNewswire/ — Carbonite Inc., a leading provider of¬†online backup solutions which provide customers with¬†”anytime, anywhere access” to their stored files, today announced the availability of Carbonite Business for small and medium sized businesses, or SMBs. ¬†Carbonite Business specifically addresses the backup requirements, budgets, security and accessibility needs of SMBs, while extending the company’s commitment to simple, automatic, affordable and¬†secure online backup solutions.

“Small business owners are increasingly aware of the importance of¬†backing up their business data,” said Carbonite CEO and co-founder¬†David Friend. ¬†”Our market research has indicated that they would choose an automatic, cloud-based solution if it were affordable, so we built Carbonite Business specifically to address those needs.”

Carbonite’s small business solutions are tailored to meet the needs of two distinct small business groups — smaller offices with multiple computers and larger offices that also require server backup. ¬†Both offerings provide unparalleled value compared to competing online solutions. Carbonite Business backs up an unlimited number of computers for a flat fee of¬†$229¬†per year (with 250GB of storage included). Carbonite Business Premier backs up an unlimited number of computers and servers (with 500GB of storage included) for just¬†$599¬†per year. Businesses can easily add supplemental storage packs as their backup needs grow.

Both solutions include:

• Secure, offsite backup for an unlimited number of computers
• Continual automatic or scheduled backups
• External hard-drive backup
• Anytime, Anywhere Access to stored files from virtually any internet-connected device
• Premium US-based customer support via online chat, email or phone (8 a.m. – 12 a.m. EST)
• File encryption during backup and storage
• Support for Windows and Mac desktops and laptops

Carbonite Business Premier also includes Windows file server backup and additional storage space.

Carbonite Business and Business Premier also feature free Valet Setup and Rapid Recovery services. ¬†Valet Setup enables a Carbonite representative to remotely install the application on a customer’s computers, and to ensure that the initial backup is running properly. ¬†Rapid Recovery is a suite of services designed to simplify and accelerate the restore process via an interactive restore wizard, free phone support and a recovery hard drive restore via express courier option.

A free 30-day trial of Carbonite Business is available at www.carbonite.com.
