Clickfree C2 Portable Backup Drive (Macintosh) Using the Clickfree Portable Backup Drive
Important: Clickfree never erases or replaces content on your computer’s hard drive, unless
you ask it to replace a file during restore.
Clickfree never erases anything other than the backups it has performed. Any
other data stored on your Portable Backup Drive /CDs/DVDs is left untouched
and is never erased.
The only exception to this is if you previously used your Portable Backup Drive with a non-
Mac computer and saved files on it outside of
Clickfree backups. Because you will need to
reformat the external hard disk for use with the Mac, all data on the disk will be lost. Be
sure to copy valuable content before reformatting.
And unless you ask it to remove backed-up content,
Clickfree never erases or
replaces content on your Portable Backup Drive. Clickfree never erases or replaces
content on your CDs or DVDs.
Your Clickfree backups are also handy for moving or copying data from one computer to
another.
Content
Normally you don’t use Clickfree to back up your programs or operating system
(Windows), only the data that you have created or copied to your computer – music,
photos, letters, emails, tax information etc. In this guide we refer to this data as content.
File
Information used by your computer and stored in a specific place on your hard drive. A file
may be content, a program or part of a program, or information a program uses in some
way.
Sometimes the relationship between content and file is clear: a photo or a letter is usually a
single file. On the other hand, a single email message may be just a part of a large file that
contains many messages, and related information such as email addresses, calendar events
etc. However, you don’t need to be concerned about this because
Clickfree takes care of all
the details for you.
