com.carbonite.launchd.watcher
This is a launchDaemon component belonging to Carbonite, a cloud backup and disaster recovery service. The watcher daemon is a background system service that monitors files and folders scheduled for backup, maintaining the backup schedule and synchronizing changes with Carbonite's cloud infrastructure. It is a non-standalone component and is updated automatically as part of the main Carbonite backup application.

1 suggestionThis is a system daemon — a background helper component of Carbonite, not a standalone app. There is nothing to update separately. To get a native Apple Silicon version (if one exists), you must update the main Carbonite backup application itself through Carbonite's own update mechanism or installer. Open Carbonite on your Mac, check its menu for "Check for Updates" or similar, and install any available update. If Carbonite has shipped a native Apple Silicon build, the update will include it; if not, contact Carbonite support to ask about their Apple Silicon roadmap and timeline, especially given the September 2028 macOS 28 deadline when Rosetta 2 will be removed. In the meantime, the Intel version of Carbonite and its daemons continue to run under Rosetta 2 on M-series Macs, but will stop working on that future release.
