Hi Christine, While storage has become very inexpensive, it still does cost money and I believe Carbonite simply does not want to offer everybody to back up their external drives for the same cost. It's easy nowadays to buy a 3 Tb drive or even a network attached storage enclosure which can hold 2 or 4 massive drives. People fill them with movies, music and pictures and there is just no way any company could back that all up for probably tens of thousands of customers for $5 a months.

If they would add that feature, I would join. I don't see why that's so hard for them.

I am unsure about why someone thought it less so on the Mac, I use it on the Mac and cannot find a single thing that does not work well on that interface with Voice Over. Its effectively $5 a month to protect as much data as you can squeeze onto as many internal drives as you have within your machine. Options exist to add external drives etc. I have close to 500Gb backed up with it, and its fantastic peace of mind. You can also access your files when out and about, and changes made allegedly work their way back to your machine, although I've not tried this. I can tell you that its a very good service that works well.
