Love this for our Office staff auto backups

What do you like best? I can setup someone and send them an email link to setup their own PC to be backed up to carbonite. And with the auto backup feature it can then auto backup anytime a file is changed instead of running a complete backup again. I have also used the Restore feature more then once due to employee deleting files or once in a blue moon HDD failure. What do you dislike? I have only run into one minor annoyance. I can right click a folder in windows and say to not back it ...
