Restoring Content
You can restore your content to any computer that meets the system requirements (see
“What do I need before I start?” on page 6), not just to the computer the content was backed
up from.
To restore files from more than one computer, simply repeat the restore process choosing a
different computer each time.

HAT GETS RESTORED
,
AND TO WHERE
?
You can choose whether to restore all or just selected content, and where the content is
restored to – or you can allow Clickfree to make the choices for you.
If you don’t change any options, Clickfree restores all of the content that was backed up, and
puts it in the same folders on your computer that it was backed up from.
If you are restoring over files of the same name, Clickfree will warn you and ask permission
to overwrite these files on the computer with the ones on the Clickfree Wireless. [[We
should double check that this is actually happening. I’ve yet to see this kind of
warning]].Alternatively, you can restore your files to a different location on your computer
so they don’t overwrite any existing files.

ESTORING CONTENT
1. Double-click the Clickfree icon on the desktop (or click once on the icon in the system
tray).
If you are restoring content to a new computer that has never been connected to the
Clickfree Wireless, plug the Clickfree Wireless in to your new computer.
2. In the Welcome window, click Restore .
3. Look at the computer name in the Restore From box:
If your Clickfree Wireless contains backups created on the computer that you are using,
the
Restore From box contains the name of this computer, and, unless you change it, the
content to be restored will come from this computer’s backup. The drop-down list
contains the names of all of the computers that have been backed up on your Clickfree
Wireless.
Click the arrow at the right of the Restore From box and select the name of the computer
whose content you want to restore to this computer:
