Carbonite backup issues3/2/2024 The software does not seem to have any settings where one can specify that a drive other than C: be used for logging. I’m reluctant simply to delete the file, however, because I’m afraid that it might cause Carbonite to start over and throw away 1.5 months of uploading. It has entries such as 1330816462 # 7336:Backup progress: completed 1%, file counts last 1:41:31 A I’ve tailed out this log file and it doesn’t seem as though it could be useful to a computer program. I tried another couple of hours on hold with their technical support phone line, but never reached anyone with any technical knowledge. I spent two hours this morning in chat with Carbonite support (in Lewiston, Maine) and was eventually simply disconnected. WinDirStat (awesome free software) shows that this single carbonite.log file is now larger than all of Microsoft Windows 7. The seasonal pace of the backup isn’t a serious problem for me, but the fact that the software has built up a 31 GB log file on the C: drive is. After 1.5 months, Carbonite is about 74 percent done with the initial backup (about 300 GB total?). The machine has a 160 GB solid state C: drive and a 2 TB traditional hard drive. I decided to try out Carbonite for online backup of a desktop PC.
