Q: I have Windows XP. Can Carbonite restore my files after I install Windows 7?
A: Yes. Carbonite has built-in functionality to transfer files from one computer to another. The system change shouldn't be a problem for restoring your documents, photos, contacts, email, and music. Carbonite promises to put everything in the right place. There are full instructions on the help section of their website. Full restores can take a while, even a day or more, depending on the amount of data you're moving. Also, you should note that programs are not backed up by Carbonite. You must reinstall those manually.
