Thank you for trying and using Carbonite. Carbonite Safe Server Backup is a powerful product that can back up your servers, computers, and live databases like MySQL, Exchange, SQL, etc.
Normally when using CSSB, you don't have to worry about creating new users or assigning computers. However, if you're also using the computer backup product, you will be able to manage your users/administrators and add/remove/assign computers to your account.
The collapsible sections below will teach you the basics about Carbonite Safe Server Backup. For detailed information, please see the Carbonite Safe Server Backup Handbook.
You can install the CSSB software right from your account dashboard. You will have to download and import your cloud certificate to enable cloud backups.
CSSB can create individual backup sets for each of the supported operating systems and databases that you need. Each operating system or live application has some additional requirements that you should take note of to ensure that backups run smoothly.
You can do a restore to the same computer or to a different one.
We've listed the different items that you can restore with CSSB and any requirements that they need in order to work successfully:
