It has been quite awhile since I have had Carbonite, so perhaps how it operates has since changed. Having said that, I know that there were a few times that I accessed my home computer files while at work. My work computer has never had Carbonite software on it. I went to carbonite.comand signed into my account and made my way to the files. I was able to select and download those files to my work computer. However, the day came when I had a computer crash and Carbonite (temporarily) did not have any of my files available for me....among other issues such as huge billing mix-ups having two separate computer accounts. As I say, maybe with present day rules, going to Carbonite on another computer is no longer allowed. Gini I'm not weird, I'm gifted Thoughts become things... choose the good ones!

It would be allowed, that's the only way one could recover files after a computer loss, the recovery would be to a new computer. What I suggested is that she might need the program on the computer being used. If you say not, then it's probably not. I've never attempted the maneuver.
