![]() Only downside when it’s not installed: where do you put? This box is very fairly big and long at 81-inches small garages may have an issue. Our vehicle here has factory-provided roof rails so the install was quick, with the box easily sitting on the rails and secured by large clamps. And the looks of the SkyBox 16 are deceiving, weighing only 47 pounds it appears to weight 3 times that, so it’s not heavy for a pair of adults to manage. There is zero assembly and no tools required to get this big boy up top either, so installing and removing it is easy with two adults. Getting into the box is easy, so is the latch system with key. The box is designed with internal lid stiffeners for durability and easy open and close, plus it offers dual-sided openings for easy access on either side of the vehicle, which turned out to be handier than we expected. Plus, the tapered design reduces hatch interference while the SuperLatch security ensures the lid is secure to its base. Much of this is courtesy of the box’s 15-inch height, allowing things to be stacked. Not having to strategically jam and Tetris all our gear into the trunk was refreshing - it was nice to have some extra trunk space without needing to leave anything behind. For an overnight camping trip, we managed to reasonably stow a great deal of stuff up there - from sleeping bags to firewood.

But its been my pleasure to hear that multiple times as their excuse.Dimensions: L 81.00 in x W 36.00 in x H 15.00 in ![]() By the way this company bought out my past backup company I had for years that definitely did not have a policy like this one. computers are being hacked every day and a company that cant hold on to your data during replacements etc is not customer friendly and not standing behind what they promise. Things happen unexpectedly and you would like to think the company you trusted your data with would have some archive. I checked with several backup companies and none of them were definitely more reasonable. ![]() I talked to a manager and she said that it is industry standard practice. I totally was confident my data would be there. But my real problem with carbonite is this 30 day policy of wiping my backups off the server when you have been a customer for years. I didn' see it as I was caught up getting everything back on line. I had one email that stated my subscription had expired because my Credit card had changed. Unfortunately my computers had to be reimaged due to malware, my credit card was compromised and I was just starting over when I found out Carbonite had deleted my data 5 days before. CONSĬarbonite has a 30 day policy to delete all data and is not recoverable if your subscription laps. Sorry I kept with it but also shocked to see their deletion policy. Software was not as user friendly as the backup company Carbonite bought out. ![]() I found nothing positive about this software. I trust experts when it comes to my data and security, so this is not a huge issue for me. So if I were to lose my data I would need to figure out how to do it and/or pay him to help me. CONSĪs I was recommended to Carbonite by my IT guy, he is the one installed the software and also uploaded all of the docs and files when I purchase new hardware. My invoices and accounting are backed up. I have stored in my system at this moment in time 249,577 files - work from over 10 years is compiled here for my marketing clients. At any point in time, I know if my hard drive system were to be compromised, by disaster or stolen or other calamity-I could be back in business with all documents and files uploaded into a new computer hard drive system. I highly recommend Carbonite not only for business but also personal home computers. I am using Carbonite Safe CE 22.2 - I have clients that say they have a backup to Google or other service, and quite frankly they don't understand the complexity they will go through to try to retrieve their data. And at any time, I can open the software and see the files and view my backup on the Cloud. Since it runs in the background and I don't need to do anything with it - my experience is awesome! I love seeing the reports pop on the screen saying my system just backed up XXXXXXX number of files.
