Clickfree

Transformer SE can back up as many computers as you like: you are limited

only by the amount of space on your iPod.

Clickfree

creates a unique identifier for each computer that it is used with, regardless of

the computer’s name. This allows

Clickfree

to back up content for more than one

computer without the files getting mixed up with each other, even if all of the computers
have the same name.

You can change the name of a computer after backup to make it easier to remember
which computer is which.

You change a computer’s name from the

screen. See “To rename a

computer” on page 113.

Each time you back up a computer for the first time, its name is added to the drop down
list of computers that you see on the
