OW LONG WILL THE FIRST BACKUP TAKE

Clickfree Total Computer Backup can take a few hours to complete when first plugged in.

Since Clickfree will copy absolutely everything from your computer (including hidden

parts) it will take longer than other Clickfree versions. Please be patient during this first

backup. Future backups will be much shorter.

S THE

LICKFREE

GOING TO DO A FULL BACKUP OF MY COMPUTER EVERY TIME

CONNECT THE

LICKFREE DEVICE

No. By default, the first backup that the C6 does on each computer is a full backup and will

take longer. All subsequent backups for the same computer are incremental (i.e. only

new/modified files will be backed up). In addition, if files are moved from one directory to

another on the computer, they will not be backed up again and only the directory

information will be updated.

HAT IF

LICKFREE DOESN

’

T START AUTOMATICALLY WHEN

PLUG IT IN

There are a couple of reasons why Clickfree may not start when you plug in the C6:

1. If you connected the C6 to a USB hub, the hub may not provide enough power for

the C6. Try connecting directly to a USB port on the computer itself.

2. Your computer settings may prevent Clickfree from running automatically because

“Autorun” is turned off.

To fix this problem (you only need to do this once):

Windows Vista & Windows 7:

Some users will see the following screens on their computer. If this screen appears

on your computer please do the following:

Check the “Always do this for software and games” box and then,

Click on “Start Clickfree C6”
