    I was told Carbonite would back up the entire contents of disk incl programs but it only backups data files per the following:

    https://carbonite.service-now.com/carbonite/kb_view.do?sysparm_article=KB000559

    What are some good sources for automatic cloud backup for a continuous 100% disk mirror image that can restore a complete copy in case of disaster on a 100GB disk?

    Course you'd need a boot disk that would hook you up to the internet:confused:

    Why not do it the ol fashion way and clone to another hard drive. Pop bad drive out - pop new drive in...

    I use the free version of SyncBack to do a continuous backup of important folders. In fact, I have all nine people in my company setup to do this.. Four of them work in other states and their files are sent to one of our servers.

    Steve,

    Thanks,I'll look into SyncBack.

    I already do local backups but really want to get an offsite backup

    What is your average upload (not download) speed? If it's say 1 Mbps (megabit per second), 100GB would take roughly 239 hours (10 days) to upload.

    SpywareDr,

    My download speed is about 80 Mbps and upload is 30 Mbps on FIOS.
    But I understand what you are saying.
    If I just offsite the data it would be a lot less

    100GB at 30Mbps would take close to 8 hours.
