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.
Administrator
“Administrator” is a special login name for the user who can make system-wide changes to
the computer, has full control, and can access all of the files on the computer. Most home
users are automatically the Administrator of their computer. If you don’t know if you are
the Administrator, or how to log in as Administrator, you might need to talk to the person
who set up the computer for you. If no one set up your computer for you, then by default,
you are the Administrator.
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, 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 to
your computer, and does not delete it from the 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 is left untouched and is never
erased.
And unless you ask it to remove backed-up content, Clickfree never erases or
replaces content on your Portable Backup Drive.
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,
