Restoring Previous File Versions

This article is for Mac - View the Windows article

Versioning is when multiple versions of a file are kept as they are backed up over time so that previous versions of that file can be restored. Unfortunately, Carbonite for Mac does not currently support versioning, though it may be supported in a future release.

Carbonite for Windows, however, does support versioning of files. Click here to learn more about how Carbonite handles versioning on the PC platform.
