Clickfree C2N Home Backup (Mac) Frequently Asked Questions
W HAT IF I USE MORE THAN ONE C2N?
If you are backing up multiple computers and run out of space, you can use multiple C2Ns.
However, each must be used for the same computer(s) and user(s) each time (i.e. a computer
must be backed up onto the same C2N each time).
Each C2N uses a unique device ID. The BackupLink utility looks for the unique device ID of
the C2N that was used to first run the backup on a computer, so even if you leave multiple
C2Ns connected to the computers on your network, each computer knows which C2N to
back up to. The BackupLink utility also lists each computer and user that was backed up
onto it.
Put a label on each C2N listing which computers and users are backed up onto it.
H OW DO I MAKE MULTIPLE BACKUPS ?
If you want to keep multiple backups of a computer, use multiple C2Ns for that computer.
The first time you back up a computer onto any C2N, Clickfree makes a full backup. The
next time you use the same C2N it backs up only new and changed content.
So if you use a second C2N with the same computer, Clickfree starts off with a full backup
again.
U SING PASSWORD PROTECTION
D O MY FILES NEED PASSWORD PROTECTION
If your C2N is lost or stolen, anyone with a computer that meets the hardware and software
prerequisites can restore files from your C2N simply by connecting the C2N to their
computer, unless the C2N is protected by a password.
You should protect your files using a password if the content you have backed up is
sensitive in any way and there is any possibility that the C2N could be lost or stolen.
If you set a password, a scheduled backup is delayed until you enter the password.
See “Scheduling automatic backups” on page 18 for more details.
