So I signed up for www.carbonite.com after reading some great reviews... and selected to do manual selection of which directories/files get backed up.
Worked fine for a few days then my computer rebooted by itself for updates while I was on vacation. Turns out carbonite re-did it's configuration I set and started backing up EVERYTHING for eac "user" account, AND every harddrive on my system.
I come home today and my entire desktop is almost backed up as long as every other user accuont (2) on my system! The funny thing is I was not even logged into windows! The carbonite system was uploading while it was at the "Login Prompt"!!!!!!!!
I chose not to backup "private" information as well as my personal photos... now they are ALL backed up on some remote server because carbonite screwed up.
Do I have a case against them for taking my private information w/out my consent?
This really pisses me off :flare:
