Clickfree Portable Backup Drive for Macintosh: User Guide Introducing Clickfree Portable Backup Drive
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
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 Portable
Backup Drive, and does not delete it from the computer’s hard disk.
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 disk, 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.
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.
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 applications or operating system, only
the data that you have created or copied to your computer – music, photos, letters, emails
etc. In this guide we refer to this data as content.
