  • Summary

  • A personal laptop restore that should have taken days stretched into weeks, highlighting critical lessons about backup and recovery. When our guest's laptop hard drive failed, he thought replacing it with an SSD and restoring from Carbonite would be straightforward. Instead, he faced constant system crashes, hardware challenges, and a restore speed that would make a snail look fast. (Carbonite did not cause the crashes.) Listen as we break down this laptop restore saga, including why the system kept crashing five times per day, how Carbonite handled the interruptions, and whether paying $100 for a physical drive shipment might have been worth it. Perfect for anyone who wants to learn from someone else's restore challenges before facing their own.
