Switching from Manual to Automatic Backup (Mac 2x)
Summary:
Carbonite enables Automatic Backup Settings by default to back up your most common folders and files. These user folders include:
- Desktop
- Documents
- Pictures
- Music
- Movies
If you disable this option, Carbonite will keep the files, and folders that were previously up will remain, but no new folders will be automatically selected.

- Delete files from your computer and they will be removed from Carbonite after 30 days
- Deselect the files from the Carbonite application and they will be removed within 72 hours.
