Clickfree C2N Home Backup (Mac) Frequently Asked Questions
W HAT IF I HAVE MORE THAN ONE COMPUTER ?
C2N can backup as many computers as you like: you are limited only by the amount of
space on your C2N.
Clickfree creates a unique identifier for each computer and user that it is used with,
regardless of the computer’s and user’s names. This allows Clickfree to back up content for
more than one computer and user without the files getting mixed up with each other, even
if all of the computers and users have the same name.
If you are backing up several computers and run out of space, you may want to
consider using multiple C2Ns. See “What if I use more than one C2N?” on page 21.
H OW IS BACKUP DIFFERENT WHEN I HAVE MORE THAN ONE COMPUTER ?
It makes no difference at all - just plug the C2N in to each computer to do the first back up
and install the BackupLink utility. After that, just leave the C2N plugged in to one of the
computers on the network. Whenever you want to backup a computer, just run the
BackupLink from the menu bar, and it will back up to the C2N over the network.
Each time you back up a user’s content for the first time, the user name is added to the drop
down list of user that you see in the
Backups box on the Backup Summary window.
R EMOVING A U SER
If you no longer want to keep content backed up from a user, you can free up space on your
C2N by removing the user from Clickfree.
1. On the Tools window, click Manage Backup .
2. Click the user you want to remove.
3. Click Remove Backup . You are prompted to confirm that you want to remove it.
Once you have removed a user from Clickfree there is no way to recover that user’s
content from the C2N.
Clickfree may take several minutes to erase the data , depending on the amount of content
backed up on the C2N.
To see how to remove the content from all users, see “Resetting the C2N” on page 23.
