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 7), not just to the computer the content was backed
up from.

To restore files from more than one computer, simply repeat the restore process and choose
a different computer each time.

HAT GETS RESTORED

,

AND TO WHERE

?

The Restore function only restores your content (data you created). If you need to

“reimage” your operating system and software applications, use the EASY Fix

function (see page 14).

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 overwrites these files on the
computer with the ones on the C6. Alternatively, you can restore your files to a different
location on your computer so they don’t overwrite any existing files.

4. Look at the computer name in the

The drop-down list contains the names of all of the computers that have been backed up
on your C6. Select the computer you wish to restore from. Clickfree will restore all
categories selected from that computer’s most recent backup to the original locations.
