[QUOTE="danno20441, post: 951017, member: 124310"] [b]REVIVING this thread to ask about Carbonite[/b] This question pertains to Carbonite's RESTORE feature and I recently heard this. If you have a PC and an up-to-date account with Carbonite, that if you were to purchase a new Mac desktop and want to run all your old PC files on your new Mac, simply go to your Carbonite account o your new Mac, and RESTORE all files off old system to new Mac. In essence, I found this on the Rush Limbaugh site: [I]How do I get my files back if I have a disaster? With Carbonite, retrieving lost files takes just a few clicks. You go to [url=http://www.carbonite.com]Online Backup, Computer Backup Software & Remote Backup ? Carbonite.com[/url], re-install Carbonite on your new or repaired PC, and click “Restore.” All the data that you lost will be restored automatically to your new computer. [/I] Now, I am still PCoriented, BUT still looking into a Mac. So this potential option of signing up to Carbonite prior to buying a new Mac, and then once I set up the new Mac, log into my carbonite account and restore all files onto the new system. #1. Has anyone gone this route? #2. Does it sound feasable / doable? Insights are appreciated, as always . . . . [/QUOTE]
