*Carbonite and MOZY is controlled with special backup software that copies files from your installed hard drive(s) to their file server. The system is designed so you cannot store anything on their server that isn't on your local hard drive(s). If you remove something from your hard drive the backup software will remove it from the backup server after 30 days. This is not a solution for freeing up your disk space.

Follow-Up: I tried Carbonite in December of 2007. I was attempting to backup approximately 100 gigs which I was told by their tech support would not be a problem. It took about two months for 95% of this volume to transfer when the system broke down. Their tech support people were persistent but provided no plausible recommendations. A backup system should provide above average stability which I wasn't experiencing with Carbonite. It reached the point where it was consuming too much of my time to troubleshoot with them to no avail so I had to give up and cancel the service. They refunded the fee right away. Carbonite seems like a very good idea but it didn't work for me. I purchased a 500 GB external hard drive for $120.
