W HAT GETS RESTORED , AND TO WHERE ?
When Clickfree restore runs without you changing any options, it restores all of the
content that was backed up, and puts it in the same folders on your computer that it was
backed up from. This is the best choice if you have a new computer, or if you have repaired
your old computer and all of the content was erased.
On the other hand, if you have files on the computer, the restored files replace files of the
same name in the same location, but only after asking your permission.
If you prefer, you can easily tell Clickfree restore to restore your files to a place on your
computer’s hard drive where they will not replace the files you already have.
For details, see:
• “How do I let Clickfree restore decide what to restore and where?” on page 27
• “How do I change how Clickfree restores content?” on page 32.
H OW DO I LET C LICKFREE RESTORE DECIDE WHAT TO RESTORE AND WHERE ?
You can allow Clickfree to make the decisions about what to restore and to where, but you
need to confirm what Clickfree plans to do.
♦ To let Clickfree decide what to restore and to where:
1. Make sure that your computer is switched on and has finished starting up.
2. Log in, if that is what you normally do.
3. Connect the Clickfree Transformer SE to your computer by plugging it in to a USB
port.
Clickfree starts up just as it did when you used it to back up your content.
4. Wait for the Clickfree window to appear – this may take up to 60 seconds.
5. If your external hard drive came with a power adaptor, plug it in now to the hard drive
and to a power socket.
6. Connect the external hard drive your content is backed up on to the Clickfree
Transformer SE as shown here:
The Clickfree Welcome window appears with the countdown, just as it did when you
used it to back up your content.
But this time you are not going to allow Clickfree to start the backup.
