You can determine which version of Carbonite you are running through the Carbonite application or from your Carbonite account.
There are currently two versions of Carbonite for Mac. When Carbonite is installed, a Carbonite icon will appear in your menu bar. This is a quick way to see what version you are running.
- Users are currently not able to upgrade between versions 1.x and 2.x.
- A padlock icon (left) will be displayed in your menu bar if you have Carbonite version 1.x
- A Carbonite green dot icon (right) will be displayed in your menu bar if you have Carbonite version 2.x
