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.
Unless you explicitly ask it to do so, Clickfree does not back up the programs or the
operating system. This means that your backup won’t need nearly as much space as the
size of your computer’s hard drive since your content may only take up a small portion
of your hard drive’s capacity, and we only look for the content.
D OES C LICKFREE BACK UP ALL OF MY CONTENT EVERY TIME ?
The first time you back up your computer Clickfree backs up all of the content it finds,
which might take some time – it just depends on how much you have. Each time you
use
Clickfree after that, it only backs up the new or changed content, so it will be much
quicker.
