All computer hard drives fail eventually, sometimes without warning. Occasionally,
computers suffer damage that affects the hard drive. Sometimes, laptop computers get
lost or stolen. Sometimes, also, you may delete content by mistake. When these things
happen, other computer users may lose valuable, sometimes irreplaceable, data.

But if you lose content you’ll be really happy that you bought and used

Clickfree

. Your

backed-up content is safe on your

Clickfree

backup, and can 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.

Note:

If you are not an administrator, or are an administrator setting up a

Clickfree

C2N Home Backup Drive for a non-administrator user, see “Non-administrator
users
” on page 53 before you begin using the C2N Home Backup Drive for the
first time.

Before you can restore your content, your computer needs to be working – at the very
least it needs to be able to start up and display the desktop.

Of course, you can ‘restore’ your content to any computer that meets the system
requirements (see “What do I need before I start?” on page 14), not just to the computer
whose content you backed up.

If you are restoring content to a new computer that has never been connected to the

Clickfree

C2N Home Backup Drive, plug the

Clickfree

C2N Home Backup Drive in to

your new computer.
If you are restoring content to a computer that has previously been backed up using the

Clickfree

C2N Home Backup Drive, use the BackupLink utility (double-click the

BackupLink icon on your desktop or your system tray (bottom right corner of your
screen).
When the

Clickfree

application launches, click the

Restore/Transfer

button at the

bottom of the countdown screen.
