This is how they're going to eventually give all your information to the "Thought Police". And the sad part of it is that you would have paid for it too.
If you're considering Carbonite, don't! I had been a customer of Carbonite for years. My PC had a failure and the system was rolled back to an earlier date. I go to Carbonite and they can't provide my data. When Carbonite does a backup they write a file to the PC that they're backing up and then they use that file to restore the system. Long story short, I lost family pictures, videos, tax information, work and personal files. I was promised numerous callbacks from engineering that never came.
Carbonite isn't as good as you say. Just back up your files up on your PC as I did, have your PC die and then try and restore the files to your new MacBook Pro. SCAM! Carbonite can't do it! You have to restore the files to another PC, then transfer to an external HD, and then transfer them to the Mac. Where's the benefit? Just buy an external HD in the first place and save the hassle. See my video (Carbonite Review)
this is more like a tutorial then a review

@GenesisDSX You should do a local backup as well as a cloud backup. Just relying on one or the other is not good backup policy.
