Carbonite is one of the oldest consumer cloud backup brands in the US, founded in Boston in 2005 and acquired by OpenText in 2019 as part of its cybersecurity portfolio. The Safe line is the consumer product and ships in three tiers: Basic at around USD 4.91 per month, Plus at USD 6.99 per month, and Prime at USD 8.74 per month. All Safe plans cover a single computer with unlimited internal drive backup; Plus adds external drive backup plus an antivirus bundle and automatic video backup, while Prime adds courier recovery (Carbonite mails a hard drive with the full backup for a flat USD 10) plus HIPAA-compliant encryption options. Safe plans run on Windows and macOS.
On the business side, Carbonite Safe Pro covers up to 25 systems with 250 GB or 500 GB pooled storage starting at USD 24 per month, and Carbonite Safe Server covers Windows/SQL/Exchange/Hyper-V workloads for USD 50 to USD 83 per month per server. Buyers are typically small businesses, home offices, and families that prioritize a recognized brand name and a simple per-computer pricing model over granular dashboards. Affiliate content tends to compare Carbonite against Backblaze (unlimited per-device pricing), IDrive (multi-device per account), and Acronis (backup + security combo); Carbonite's differentiators are the courier restore for Prime and the long-running brand trust factor.
Carbonite runs the affiliate program through CJ Affiliate (Commission Junction). Publishers apply at signup.cj.com as a CJ publisher, then request the Carbonite advertiser relationship from inside the CJ dashboard; Carbonite's public site links to CJ as the signup route. Approved affiliates get tracking deeplinks, banners, text links, a product feed, and seasonal promo creatives (Black Friday, tax-season, new-customer discounts) through CJ's reporting interface. All tracking, attribution, tax forms, and payouts live inside CJ rather than at Carbonite directly.
The commission is 8% of the first-time paid sale on Carbonite Safe personal and Safe Pro business plans, with a 30-day click-to-signup cookie. Some third-party aggregators cite higher negotiated rates (25% to 35%) for publishers with volume commitments, but the CJ public listing and Knoji reference point both anchor at the 8% figure for the default offer. Commissions apply only to new customer purchases, with renewals, same-customer upgrades, and self-referrals excluded under standard CJ program terms. Commissions validate on CJ's standard locking cycle (typically 30 days after the action posts) and then pay on CJ's net-20 monthly cycle via direct deposit, check, or Payoneer, subject to CJ's USD 50 and USD 100 minimums.
