No mobile device support
Limited to Microsoft Windows and Apple macOS operating systems
Carbonite is a well-known name among business cloud backup solutions, and its Carbonite Safe small business product does fairly well in this latest incarnation. Some limiting factors is that it works only on Apple macOS or Microsoft Windows 10 computers, and that it s intended to backup only organizations comprising 25 endpoints or less. Those limits, as well as no backup support for mobile devices, means it trails our Editors Choice winner in this space, Acronis Cyber Protect.
Still, Carbonite Safe, even within those constraints, does offer some surprising flexibility and feature depth. For one thing, it can backup not only physical machines but also virtual machines (VMs) provided they re running on the Microsoft Hyper-V hypervisor. Carbonite can also handle external hard drives and network attached storage (NAS) devices, though these are only accessible as extra-cost options.
