Q: My wife and I are retired, use different machines for our household and from the same site. We also share the e-mail accounts. Question. Can I purchase a subscription [of Carbonite] to save our two computers
A: Carbonite is priced on a per-computer basis. This means that each computer to be backed up will require a separate fee. If you have two computers you want to back up, then you will need two Carbonite subscription. We would always advise purchasing two subscriptions of Carbonite even if you share the same email account, because there are likely other important files on each computer that must be safeguarded.
We believe that Carbonite is an excellent value at only $ 54.95 per year per user. This equates to approximately $ 9.20 per month for two users who risk much less then you would spend time and money on replacing lost files, music and videos in the case of a disk failure hard.
