If you are backing up your data online; you may run into some minor issues with RollBack Rx. Firstly, once you install Carbonite (or any online data storage) - these applications update file version changes as well. They do not know that you have RollBack Rx installed... So if you were to ROLL-BACK to an earlier snapshot and your Carbonite is still installed, Carbonite may see your "data" files as being updated; when in fact you went back in time to an older version of the files.... I hope that you get the picture? As long as you know how RollBack Rx works and how your online data backup interprets files changes, you should be okay. If this is very confusing to you; I would recommend sticking with either one solution only. It really is redundant to have both IMHO.
