Carbonite is an online backup service that’s just got a very nice write-up at TechCrunch, and looks like it may have the perfect simple and affordable online backup solution for many home users.

Here’s what sounds very good about Carbonite:

• Choose to backup entire hard drive, or selected files and folders
• Backs up at around 2gb per day
• NO limit on total storage
• Monitors files that change and backs them up right away
• Files are encrypted
• Deleted files are kept for 30 days
• Restores download at up to 15gb per day over broadband
• $5 per month for the service - less than any of the other leading onlne backup services

If it works as advertised, this seems a hard to beat offering for now - simple, automated, continuous backup protection - at a very attractive price.

For more background, check out the TechCrunch article and visit the Carbonite site for details and a 15-day trial:
