Clickfree C2N Home Backup Drive User Guide Using the Clickfree C2N Home Backup Drive
Using the Clickfree C2N Home Backup Drive
The Clickfree C2N Home Backup Drive has dual personalities. You can:
• use the built-in hard drive for backups (this is the most common usage), or
• use CDs/DVDs for backups, in which case your C2N Home Backup Drive acts
just like the Clickfree DVD Transformer.
As a result, this document has two divisions, one for using the built-in hard drive for
backups (starting with “Introducing Clickfree C2N Home Backup Drive (HD)” on page
10) and the other for using CDs/DVDs for backups (starting with “Introducing Clickfree
C2N Home Backup Drive (DVD)” on page 80).
Each chapter title has either “(HD)” or “(DVD)” at the end so you can easily tell which
division you are in.
P ACKAGE CONTENTS
Your Clickfree backup package contains:
• one Clickfree C2N Home Backup Drive
• one USB cable to attach the C2N Home Backup Drive to your computer
• one quick start guide
Note:
Because of software updates, what appears on your screen may look slightly
different from what appears in this document.
D EFINITIONS
Just to make sure that the user guide is clear, we’re going to define a couple of terms that
are used throughout the guide.
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.
Back up and Restore
Backing up is making copies of data so that a copy can be used to restore the original
after the data is lost or destroyed. Backups are used to restore data after loss of or
damage to your computer’s hard drive, and to restore files that have been accidentally
deleted or corrupted.
Making a backup of your content only copies it from your computer to your C2N Home
Backup Drive /CDs/DVDs, and does not delete it from the computer’s hard drive.
