LICKFREE WORK
?
All you need to do to keep your projects, photos, videos, music etc. safe is to plug Clickfree
in to your computer and let it work!
No need to install software or to configure anything. Your computer knows when
Clickfree has been plugged in, and it runs the backup program automatically each time it
is connected.
You can back up as many computers as you like with the Clickfree Transformer SE. The
same thing happens each time you plug it into a new computer. And each of your backed-
up computers is kept separate on your external hard drive.
When Clickfree has finished backing up each computer, just unplug the Transformer SE
and store in a safe place. We recommend that you do not leave the Clickfree Transformer
SE plugged into your computer: your content is safer if the Transformer SE and your
external hard drive are kept separately from the computers it has backed up.
If your data is lost for any reason (hard disk crash, laptop lost or stolen, content
accidentally deleted), you’ll be really happy that you bought and used
Clickfree . Your
backed-up content is safe on your Clickfree backup, waiting to be restored when you have
a working computer again.
A Clickfree backup is also ideal for transferring your content from an old computer to a
new one.
Sometimes, for a variety of reasons, the program may not run by itself – it may need a little
help. If this happens to you, don’t worry – it’s easy to get things going. We’ll show you
how a little later. For details, see “What if Clickfree doesn’t start up automatically?” on
page 16.
W HAT GETS BACKED UP ?
C LICKFREE BACKS UP CONTENT
At Clickfree we want to protect our customers from losing things that are irreplaceable.
That’s why Clickfree finds and backs up all of the content from wherever it is on your
computer.
When it runs automatically, Clickfree searches your computer for all of the content that
you have either created or placed in your computer. This includes photos, music, video,
office documents, financial data, email, and so much more - over 400 types of files. To see a
list of the categories of content that
Clickfree backs up automatically, see “What content
categories does Clickfree back up?” on page 13. Most likely, this means that it will back up
everything that matters to you right out of the box without you having to do anything but
plug it in.
