Carbonite-Good thing!

I've had carbonite about 9 months. On Sunday morning I came out to this computer and it had "crashed". Couldn't figure out how to recover, but did from a backup in the "partition". Something to do with the Nvidia graphics or video card, not sure. Anyway, I'm no computer person,but it backed up to 22 months ago when I bought the thing. Carbonite is currently reloading two years of pics and files and seems to be working! I bought carbonite because I live in brush fire country and figured I'd come home one day to a charred to the ground house. Seems to be a good deal at $55/year. Gotta figure out why it crashed, but glad to get two years of pictures and files back.

I thought you were having trouble with freelance freight haulers.

I should have expected this comment from the guy with the kwisatz haderach for an avatar.

Made me laugh.

Took a second, but yeah I guess it was carbonite used to encase Hans Solo. Still off site backup is great, especially if you live in brush fire country like I do.
