H OW DO I USE PASSWORD PROTECTION ?
Do my files need password protection?
If your Clickfree C2N Home Backup Drive is lost or stolen, anyone with a computer that
meets the hardware and software prerequisites can restore files from your C2N Home
Backup Drive simply by connecting the C2N Home Backup Drive to their computer,
unless the C2N Home Backup Drive is protected by a password.
You should protect your files using a password if the content you have backed up is
sensitive in any way, for example, contains trade secrets, or if it would be embarrassing
to you if it got into the wrong hands, and there is any possibility that the C2N Home
Backup Drive could be lost or stolen.
Note:
You cannot run backups as a non-administrator (see “Non-administrator users”
on page 53) if your C2N Home Backup Drive is password protected.
Note:
If you set a password, a scheduled backup is delayed until you enter the
password. See “Scheduling Automatic Backups” on page 69 for more details.
How do I choose a password?
Choose your password according to the sensitivity of the content you are protecting.
Advice on passwords is easy to come by – just google “choose password” to find as
much advice as you could possibly use.
Clickfree imposes no restrictions on the
password, and treats upper-case and lower-case letters as identical.
Warning:
Be sure to pick a password that would be difficult for anyone else to discover
and that you will be able to remember – if you forget your password there is no
way to recover any backed-up content from the C2N Home Backup Drive.
How do I enable password protection?
1. In the Manage Settings and PCs screen, click the Tools tab.
