Clickfree C2N Home Backup (Mac) Backing Up

USING THE BACKUPLINK UTILITY

After the first backup on a computer, the Clickfree BackupLink utility is installed. You will

see an icon in the menu bar. We will reference this icon throughout this manual.

Click the icon in the menu bar and choose BackupLink Status.. This window shows all

computers that have been backed up onto the same C2N, and what their current status is:

• The computer you are currently working on is always listed first, followed by all other

computers that have been backed up onto the C2N.

• You can see which computer the C2N is currently connected to.

• A green checkmark indicates that it is ready for backup at any time. The last backup

date and time is shown.

• There is a

Backup Now button beside each computer. You can start a backup on any of

the computers listed (not just your own). The backup will run over the network to

wherever the C2N is connected.

Set up an automatic backup schedule so you don’t have to worry about a thing. See

“Scheduling automatic backups” on page 18.
