W HAT IF THERE IS MORE THAN ONE USER ON MY COMPUTER ?
This matters only if each user has a separate user login name for the computer. If every
user logs in with the same user name, all of their content is backed up and restored at
the same time regardless of who is logged in.
When Clickfree runs, it can only back up the content that you can access from your
login, and restore content to locations you have access to. Because Windows XP and
Windows Vista maintain a separate Documents or My Documents folder for each user
name, Clickfree can back up only the corresponding content that belong to the person
who is logged in, unless that person logs in as Administrator.
Administrator
“Administrator” is a special login name for the user who can make system-wide changes
to the computer, has full control, and can access all of the files on the computer. Most
home users are automatically the Administrator of their computer. If you don’t know if
you are the Administrator, or how to log in as Administrator, you might need to talk to
the person who set up the computer for you. If no one set up your computer for you,
then by default, you are the Administrator.
W HAT IF I HAVE MORE THAN ONE COMPUTER ?
Clickfree Transformer SE can back up as many computers as you like: you are limited
only by the amount of space on your external hard drive(s).
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 Clickfree Options screen.
H OW IS BACKUP DIFFERENT WHEN I HAVE MORE THAN ONE COMPUTER ?
It makes no difference at all - just plug the Transformer SE in to each computer to back it
up.
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
Backup Summary , Restore Summary , and Options
screens.
