  2. Within the Carbonite interface, navigate to the file, folder, or drive that you want to select, and click Back this up.

Note: For certain applications, you may need to show the hidden Library folder on your Mac to select the files within that location.

After you make your selections, the backup statuses will appear on your files as they back up. If you selected a large amount of files or a large folder, it can take some time for the dots to appear on your files so adjust the energy saver settings to ensure the backup will not be interrupted.
