Are you using a online backup service like Carbonite? If not you should be, for $55 a year for unlimited backup you can not go wrong. But if you are using Carbonite you might find you are losing space on your hard drive in this directory "ProgramData\Carbonite\Carbonite Backup", caused by this file, carbonite.log. We currently have a log file on one of our workstations that is reaching 110GB! Guess what, this file is as described, it is a log file, stop the Carbonite service, delete the file, restart your workstation and Carbonite will create a new log file in its place that will be much smaller than the previous file.
The only downfall to doing this from our research is that if for some reason you are having issues with the Carbonite service they may request access to this file to find out what is causing your problems.

It has been close to 30 days now since we have deleted the log file, everything is good with the backup BUT...we are back to 28.8 GB (30,997,090,304 bytes) Carbonite.log...
