Clickfree
Portable Backup Drive can back as many computers as you like: you are
limited only by the amount of space on your Portable Backup Drive.
Clickfree
creates a unique identifier for each computer and user that it is used with,
regardless of the computer’s and user’s names. This allows
Clickfree
to back up content
for more than one computer and user without the files getting mixed up with each other,
even if all of the computers and users have the same names.

OW IS BACKUP DIFFERENT WHEN
I
HAVE MORE THAN ONE COMPUTER
?
It makes no difference at all - just plug the Portable Backup Drive in to each computer to
back up its users’ content.
Each time you back up a user’s content for the first time, the user name is added to the
drop down list of users that you see in the
Backups
box on the
Backup Summary
window.

You can use as many Portable Backup Drives as you like – as far as
Clickfree
is
concerned, each Portable Backup Drive (and the backups on it) is independent of the
others.

OW DO
I
MAKE MULTIPLE BACKUPS
?
If you want to keep multiple backups of a user’s content, use multiple Portable Backup
Drives for that user.
The first time you back up a user’s content onto any Portable Backup Drive,
Clickfree
makes a full backup. The next time you use the same Portable Backup Drive for the same
user it backs up only new and changed content.
So if you use a second Portable Backup Drive with the same user,
Clickfree
starts off
with a full backup again.
