OneDrive Backup VS Carbonite

I have been using Carbonite and OneDrive at the same time. Do I need both of them? When Carbonite saves files to my C drive, I keep losing valuable disk space. Should I discontinue using Carbonite and only use OneDrive to protect my file security? Thanks for your consideration.

Carbonite is a paid cloud backup solution that supports users to save common file types, such as documents, mail, media, etc., in the computer to the server it provides. It can encrypt your data with security technology and protect your files throughout the day. At the same time, Carbonite supports you to create an automatic backup plan and helps you easily recover your files. It currently only supports Windows and Mac systems and cannot be used for other mobile devices.

OneDrive is a free program provided by Microsoft. Its purpose is not to help you back up files but to enable you to have the ability to access, process, and share your files anywhere. Because of this, OneDrive is more compatible than Carbonite and can be used on mobile phones. Many users take advantage of the features of OneDrive as a means of backing up files. However, compared with the traditional backup scheme, OneDrive has obvious weaknesses. It does not have an automatic backup function. Users can only upload files manually by themselves to achieve the backup effect.

According to what you said, you need software that can back up files to an external hard drive, such as EaseUS Todo Backup, to achieve the best data security.

As an offline backup software, EaseUS Todo Backup can help you automatically back up various types of files and support you to back up system, disk, app data, etc., which are functions that Carbonite and OneDrive cannot have. You can use it to back up the data to the external hard disk or the cloud space provided by it to realize the double guarantee of file security.
