Carbonite
Carbonite is a cloud-based backup and disaster recovery service for macOS and Windows, designed for individuals and small businesses. It continuously backs up files, photos, documents and system data to encrypted Carbonite servers, allowing users to recover files if their computer is lost, stolen or damaged. The service is accessed via a background agent that runs on the Mac and periodically syncs changes to the cloud, with a web portal for account management and file recovery.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionCarbonite is not natively designed for Apple Silicon Macs and does not have a native build available. The app currently only runs under Rosetta 2 emulation. Carbonite's official support documentation explicitly states that they have no native Apple Silicon version at this time, and the app will stop working entirely when Apple removes Rosetta 2 in macOS 28 (September 2028). You should contact Carbonite Support to ask about their timeline for native Apple Silicon support, or begin researching alternative backup solutions that already offer native macOS Apple Silicon builds — such as Backblaze, Arq, or Duplicacy — to ensure you have a working backup solution before the September 2028 deadline.
