Double-click the Carbonite icon in your Windows notification area to open the Carbonite InfoCenter. Note: If you do not see the Carbonite icon, it may be hidden. Click the Show hidden icons button ( ) to view the Carbonite icon. Within the Carbonite InfoCenter, click Settings to view and change any of your settings.

Next, click Edit settings next to Online Backup to view and change your Online Backup settings.

Within the Settings tab, mark the checkbox next to Include Carbonite's recommended default backup selections in my backup to include your user folders in your backup. Click Save to register your selection.

If the checkbox is already marked, that means that your user folders are already selected for back up. Confirming Your Backup Selections Between Operating Systems When you change your operating system to a different one (e.g. going from Windows XP to Windows Vista or Windows Vista to Windows 7), it is always a good idea to confirm that your important files are still selected for backup and backing up normally. The setting for including Carbonite's recommended backup selections is the best way to ensure that the default user-data locations on your computer are selected for backup and backing up normally. Double-click the Carbonite icon in your Windows notification area to open the Carbonite InfoCenter. Note: If the icon isn't visible, click the show hidden icons button ( ) next to the Windows notification area to display hidden icons. Within the Carbonite InfoCenter, click Settings.

On the Settings page, click Edit settings next to Online Backup. To allow Carbonite to manage your backup selections, place a mark in the checkbox to have Carbonite include the default selections (C:\Documents and Settings in Windows XP; and C:\Users in Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8 and Windows 10). Once selected, click Save.

Carbonite will now back up the locations where user-data is stored by default on Windows computers. Ensure that important files like videos and files saved in folders normally not backed up by Carbonite are also selected for back up. Instructions for manually selecting files for backup are located within our Knowledge Base here. Manually Managing Your Backup If you would prefer to manage your own backup, you can opt to do so by disabling Carbonite's recommended backup selections through the Carbonite InfoCenter or from within File Explorer. Before changing your file selections for backup, open the Carbonite InfoCenter and disable Carbonite's recommended backup selections. Double click the Carbonite icon in your Windows notification area. If the icon isn't visible, click the show hidden icons button ( ) next to the Windows notification area to display hidden icons. Within the Carbonite InfoCenter, click Settings.

Click Edit settings next to Online Backup.

Within Online Backup Settings, if there is a checkmark next to Include Carbonite's recommended default backup selections in my backup, uncheck it and click Save. You will now be able to select files for backup and deselect files to remove them from your backup.

Selecting Files for Backup To include a file in your online backup, right-click on it and select Carbonite; Back this up.

When you select the file for back up, Carbonite will place a yellow dot on the file's icon. The file will remain pending for 10 minutes to ensure that no changes are being made. After 10 minutes, the file will start backing up to our secure backup servers. When the file is backed up, the yellow dot will turn green. Any changes made after this point will be backed up within 24 hours. How to Remove Files Through Windows Explorer Locate and right-click a file you wish to remove and select Carbonite; Don't back this up.

The file will be removed from your backup within 72 hours and the status dot will disappear from its icon immediately. The option, Don't Back This Up, works the same for folders as it does for files. Removing folders from your backup will also remove the files within them. If you remove a folder from your backup, a confirmation window will be displayed. Click Yes to remove the folder and files within from your backup. Click No to keep the folder and files within selected for back up. After clicking Yes, the folder is removed from your backup and the status dot will disappear from its icon. All files contained in the folder are also removed from your backup. How to Remove Files Through the Carbonite Backup Drive If there are files or folders in your backup that you can't find on your computer, you can deselect them from within the Carbonite Backup Drive.

Double-click the Carbonite icon in your Windows notification area to open the Carbonite InfoCenter. If you do not see the Carbonite icon, it may be hidden. Click the Show hidden icons button ( ) to view the Carbonite icon. Within the Carbonite InfoCenter, click Restore to view the restore options and click Browse your backup to open the Carbonite Backup Drive. Navigate to the file you wish to remove from your backup. Right-click the file and select Do not back up. The file will be removed from your backup within 72 hours.

The Do not back up option works the same for folders as it does for files. Removing folders from your backup will also remove the files within them. If you remove a folder from your backup, a confirmation window will be displayed. Click Yes to remove the folder and files within the folder from your backup. Click No to keep the folder and selected files within the folder included in your backup. After clicking Yes, the folder will be removed from your backup and the status dot will be removed from its icon. All files contained in the folder will be removed from your backup. Scheduling Your Backup Carbonite's backup schedule can be adjusted so that it is only consuming system resources during time periods of your choice. All users can adjust the schedule for Online Backup. Please note that your computer must be powered on during the scheduled backup time for your backup to be performed.

By default, the Online Backup will run on a continuous basis after your initial backup completes. When a file is created or changed, it will be backed up within 10 minutes. If a backed up file is changed more than once in a 24 hour period, the most recent change will be backed up within 24 hours. Double-click the Carbonite icon within your notification area to open the Carbonite InfoCenter. The Carbonite InfoCenter will display information pertaining to your backup. Click the Settings tab, then click the Edit settings link next to Online Backup.

In the Online Backup Schedule panel, choose and configure the schedule option you prefer, then click Save.

The following options are available in the Online Backup Schedule panel: Back up continuously (Recommended) - Carbonite will run continually in the background. Changes to your files are backed up within 10 minutes of the first change. Subsequent changes are backed up within 24 hours. To back up an important file immediately, please continue reading for further instructions. Back up once a day - Backup will start at the time specified and continue until complete. Once complete, Carbonite will go into a paused state until the next scheduled backup time. Do not back up during certain hours - Carbonite will not perform backup operations between the hours specified. Carbonite will back up as much as it is able to back up outside of those hours. When you schedule your backup, the Carbonite icon in the Windows notification area will remain green. A message will be displayed on the Backup Tab to indicate that your backup is in a scheduled pause.
