H OW DO I GET MY CONTENT BACK ?
To get your content back you don’t need to do much more than you did to back the
content up – it just takes a couple of clicks, and the insertion of backup disks when
asked.
As with Clickfree backup, you can either make some choices – whether to restore all, or
just selected content, and where the content is restored to – or you can allow Clickfree to
make the choices for you.
Note:
At the start of a restore, Clickfree asks you to insert a backup disk with a
particular number and date.
In addition, as the restore proceeds, if you have backed up the computer more
than once,
Clickfree may ask you to insert one or more other backup disks with
a particular numbers and dates.
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.
