1 Definitions and Introduction
1.1 Definitions
To ensure this user guide is easily understandable, the following terms, as defined below,
are used throughout this user guide.
Administrator
“Administrator” is a special login name for the user who can make system-wide changes to
the computer, has full control, and can access all of the files on the computer. Most home
users are automatically the Administrator of their computer.
Backup and Restore
Data can be lost due to damages to your hard drive or corruption by viruses. It can also be
accidentally deleted or stolen. Backing up refers to making extra copies of data for safe
keeping. Restoring refers to recovering the lost or corrupted files using the backed up data.
Making a backup of your content simply copies the content from your computer to your C2
and does not delete any content from the computer’s hard drive.
Restoring your content from a backup simply copies it from your C2 to your computer, and
does not delete any content from the C2.
C2 never erases anything on your computer’s hard drive during a backup. It simply copies
the content to from the computer. Similarly, nothing is deleted from the C2 during a
restore. Contents are simply copied (i.e. restored) from the C2 to your computer.
However, if you ask C2 to restore a backup to the same location on the computer, a window
will appear advising that a file with the same name exists. Options are Skip, Replace or
Cancel. If you don’t want to overwrite content, you can simply restore the content to
another location on your computer.
Similarly, during future (i.e. subsequent) backups, all new content and other content that
has been modified since the last backup will be copied to the C2. During this process, any
older files will be replaced (i.e. overwritten) with newer revisions.
Content
C2 has been developed to backup only the data that you have created or copied to your
computer – music, photos, letters, emails, tax information etc. In this guide, we refer to this
data as content. C2 does not back up your operating system or software. (eg. Mac OS X).
File
Information used by your computer is stored in a specific place on your hard drive. A file
may be content, a program or part of a program, or information a program uses in some way.
Sometimes the relationship between content and file is unclear: a photo or a letter is usually
a single file. On the other hand, a single email message may be just a part of a large file that
contains many messages, and related information such as email addresses, calendar events.
