W HAT IF I HAVE MORE THAN ONE COMPUTER ?
Clickfree C2N Home Backup Drive can backup as many computers as you like: you are
limited only by the amount of space on your C2N Home Backup Drive.
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 Manage
Settings and PCs screen.
H OW IS BACKUP DIFFERENT WHEN I HAVE MORE THAN ONE COMPUTER ?
It makes no difference at all - just plug the C2N Home Backup Drive in to each computer
to do the first back up and install the BackupLink utility. After that, just leave the C2N
Home Backup Drive plugged in to one of the computers on the network. Whenever you
want to backup a computer, just run the BackupLink from the computer’s system tray,
and it will back up to the C2N Home Backup Drive over the network.
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.
♦ To find the name of a computer:
1. In the BackupLink status screen, click Options .
Note:
You can only do this if the Backup Status is “Ready”, not if any of the connected
computers is currently backing up.
