Introducing the Clickfree C6
H OW IT WORKS
The Clickfree C6 backup drive is the easiest way to protect the data on your computers, with
no effort at all, by automatically searching for and backing up onto its built-in hard disk all
the content stored on each computer. No hardware configuration or software installation is
required.
The Clickfree C6 is the only external hard-drive in the Clickfree product lineup that backs
up the computer's entire contents including the Windows operating system, installed
software programs, as well as all personal content stored on the computer's hard-drives.
The Clickfree C6 also comes with a unique feature called EASY Fix. The EASY Fix is a suite
of tools that allow the user to perform:
• • • •
Emergency Backup/Recovery - Recover personal files even after Windows has
crashed and will not restart.
• • • •
Repair/Reset – Easily repair your computer including your Windows operating
system and software programs from a previous backup, without affecting your
personal files. See details in "Repairing your computer" on Page 16.
• • • •
Reimage - In the case of a computer hard drive failure, easily reimage everything
onto your computer's new hard drive. See details in "Re-Imaging your computer" on
page 17.
Clickfree EASY Fix is NOT designed to transfer your Windows Operating System and
Software Applications (system files) from one computer to another. Instead, it is designed to
help restore your system files from a backup to the same computer in case of OS/software
problems or a hard drive failure.
When using the Re-image option in Clickfree EASY Fix, unless you are an advanced user
please only use it on the same computer that you backed up. ( i.e. you are re-imaging onto the
same computer or to a replacement hard drive installed on the same computer )
The first time you connect a C6 to your computer it searches for and backs up all of your
important content as well as the Windows operating system and your software applications.
The C6 can be connected to any number of computers to allow them to also be backed up.
When Clickfree has finished backing up each computer, you can disconnect the C6 and
connect it to a different computer, or leave the C6 connected to the computer to easily
update your backup in the future (you can also schedule a backup automatically -- see
“How to schedule automatic backups” on page 19).
Please note that the limit is on the available space on the Clickfree C6 and not on the
number of PCs that can be backed up.
It is also possible to back up to CDs or DVDs instead of using the built-in hard disk; see
“How do I back up onto CDs or DVDs?(EASY Archiver)” on page 23.
