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 disk, 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 backup disk,
and does not delete it from the computer’s hard disk.
Restoring your content from a backup only copies it from your backup disk to your
computer, and does not delete it from the backup disk.
Important: Clickfree never erases or replaces content on your computer’s hard disk, unless
you ask it to replace a file during restore.
Clickfree never erases anything from your backup disks.
And unless you ask it to remove back up history,
Clickfree never erases the
history.
Your Clickfree backups are also handy for moving or copying data from one computer to
another.
Backup disks
Generally, throughout this guide, the recordable media (CDs and DVDs) used to back up
your content are referred to as backup disks.
