Clickfree C2 Portable Backup Drive (Macintosh) Using the Clickfree Portable Backup Drive
Using the Clickfree Portable Backup Drive
The Clickfree Portable Backup Drive has dual personalities. You can:
• use the built-in hard drive for backups, or
• use CDs/DVDs for backups.
As a result, this document has two divisions, one for using the built-in hard drive for
backups (starting with “Introducing Clickfree Portable Backup Drive (HD)” on page 8) and
the other for using CDs/DVDs for backups (starting with “Introducing Clickfree C2
Portable Backup Drive (DVD)” on page 45).
Each chapter title has either “(HD)” or “(DVD)” at the end so you can easily tell which
division you are in.
S TARTING A DVD BACKUP
DVD backup is started from an HD backup screen. See “How do I start a DVD backup or
restore?” on page 31 in the Advanced topics (HD) chapter.
P ACKAGE CONTENTS
Your Clickfree backup package contains:
• one Clickfree Portable Backup Drive
• one USB cable to attach the Portable Backup Drive to your computer
• one quick start guide
Note: Because of software updates, what appears on your screen may look slightly
different from what appears in this document.
D EFINITIONS
Just to make sure that the user guide is clear, we’re going to define a couple of terms that
are used throughout the guide.
Back up and Restore
Backing up is making copies of data so that a copy can be used to restore the original after
the data is lost or destroyed. Backups are used to restore data after loss of or damage to
your computer’s hard drive, and to restore files that have been accidentally deleted or
corrupted.
Making a backup of your content only copies it from your computer to your Portable
Backup Drive /CDs/DVDs, and does not delete it from the computer’s hard drive.
Restoring your content from a backup only copies it from your Portable Backup Drive
/CDs/DVDs to your computer, and does not delete it from the these media.
