If I had any idea they put this feature in I might have checked it out and been pleased, but at this point I am invested in my paid for RAS. I wonder they they would be so coy about such a, in my view, significant software upgrade, This is really odd because I use carbonite and separate remote access software.

Turns out Carbonite can't backup off remote drives like NAS or USB too I think. That puts it at next to useless for me and ironic given the free trial.

For most users however, they will be on auto so they should have their most up to date files online all of the time.

But I came across this story of carbonite having lost data back in 2007 due to faulty hard drives (and they're now suing the hard drive manufacturers). I am not suggesting that we stop using carbonite but I do think online backup should not be the only backup we have. The best online service could fail for unforeseen reasons. http://www.techcrunch.com/2009/03/23/online-backup-company-carbonite-loses-customers-data-blames-and-sues-suppliers/ I use carbonite and am happy with it.
