The hard drive on my "main" computer is pretty small I think. I got this computer as a gift for when I went off to school, so a new, bigger hard drive is a must have. I'll look into that real soon. Thank you!

With huge hard drives, there's no reason to ever delete stuff off your main computer. I'm not talking about crap that is useless and just clutter. Of course continue to delete that. But anything that might possibly ever be needed, keep it. Don't delete ever. Just get a larger hard drive for your main computer. Mine is 160 GB and is 70% full so I will be replacing that hard drive sooner than later. I keep everything on my 2 external hard drives. I don't keep that much on my laptops. I keep…

Mine is 160 GB and is 70% full so I will be replacing that hard drive sooner than later. I keep everything on my 2 external hard drives. I don't keep that much on my laptops. I keep Catalyst synched but that's all I care about on the main and spare laptops. Every once in a while I'll synch some Word folders to my laptop but it's not that important to me and therefore my laptops are not a storage site for me. I have a third external hard drive (a good price so I snatched it up) that's waiting in the wings. As soon as one of the current two external drives fails, I'll synch that one immediately to my desktop hard drive and then start using that for nightly backups.

By deleting files I meant if I removed a file to an external hard drive, would it then delete on the online backup, and the answer is yes, at least from what I gathered. I was hoping they kept the files you backed up "forever" regardless if you removed or deleted them from your computer. Here is a follow-up email that was sent to me after I talked to this lady via online instant messaging on the Carbonite website:<br />

Hello and thank you for contacting Carbonite Customer Support.<br />
<br />
If you delete a file from your computer, Carbonite will schedule the file to be deleted within thirty days. This gives you some time if you realize you deleted the wrong file. You do not need to manually delete the files from your Carbonite backup. If you wish to remove a deleted file from your Carbonite backup even sooner, browse to the file within the Carbonite Backup Drive, right-click it, and select Don't back this up. The file will be removed from your backup in 24-72 hours.<br />
<br />
Please let us know if you need additional assistance.<br />

I did see that with the 15-day trial they'll delete your files 10 days AFTER the 15 day trial if you don't end up buying their service. That's all I saw about deleting files.

I'm definitely going to get something like Carbonite for reasons just like those. You don't always have time to prepare for natural disasters, and the unlimited storage on Carbonite is really awesome.<br />

I did consider problems such as the company going belly up. I do have an external hard drive as well. May buy a second one too. Now I also have Carbonite. I live just outside of Auburn, CA. We had a big fire the other day and we actually got the call from the fire dept to prepare to evacuate. We packed up the car, but fortunately we never had to leave. I had enough time to think about what to grab - laptop, Mira, pictures, jewelry, CASH, etc., but if I'd had no time, or I hadn't been home,…

I had enough time to think about what to grab - laptop, Mira, pictures, jewelry, CASH, etc., but if I'd had no time, or I hadn't been home, Carbonite would have been my one and only backup. Best to have multiple ways of backing up and one that's off site for those emergencies that hopefully will never happen.

Something to consider, and it might be in the fine print, what if the off-site company goes belly up? You can get a 1T hard drive for next to nothing.

I back up to 2 external hard drives at all times (it's not if but when they fail) and am very happy having Carbonite. It's annoying sometimes but you just put it on "pause" for however long you want and it stops being annoying. I got 2 years for $90, so $45/year for unlimited backup I think is great. I have EVERYTHING, including all audio and all photos, included in the backup. The idea of having everything backed up "off-site" is very relaxing.
