CarboniteDaemon
CarboniteDaemon is a background service component of Carbonite, a cloud-based backup and file-syncing solution for macOS. The daemon runs invisibly in the background to continuously monitor and sync files to Carbonite's servers, enabling disaster recovery and off-site data protection. It is part of Carbonite's larger desktop application suite and is not run as a standalone product.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionCarboniteDaemon is not a standalone application — it is a system helper process that runs as part of Carbonite, Carbonite's backup client for macOS. The daemon itself cannot be updated separately. To ensure your Carbonite backup continues working when Apple removes Rosetta 2 in macOS 28 (September 2028), you need to update the main Carbonite application to a native Apple Silicon build. Contact Carbonite directly or visit their support site to check whether a native macOS build for Apple Silicon Macs is available, and if so, download and install it. If Carbonite has not yet released a native build, contact them to ask when one will be available — you have until September 2028 before the Intel-only version stops launching entirely.
